Significant L-alanine aminopeptidase activity is specific to gram-negative microbes. Therefore, H-Ala-pNAHCl can be used in support of evidence that an organism is gram-positive or gram-negative. It is split by L-alanine aminopeptide into L-alanine and 4-nitroanine. The latter compound causes bacterial suspensions to turn yellow.

Description
L-Arabinose is an arabinose isomer widely found in nature, while D-arabinose is less common. L-Arabinose is a constituent of many biopolymers that make up plant cell walls.
This monosaccharide is often used in cell culture media, serving as a bacterial carbon source, and can be used to distinguish between bacteria based on their fermentation abilities.
L-Arabinose, in the absence of glucose, induces transcription of the ara operon in E. coli that encodes L-arabinose catabolizing enzymes. It does this by binding to the AraC protein and activating the PBAD promoter. The PBAD promoter is used in plasmid vectors as a switch for protein expression that can be turned on by L-arabinose or turned off by addition of glucose.

Description
Homocysteine is a cysteine homolog,and only differs by having an additional methylene bridge. It is often used in vitro as a reference to measure L-homocysteine in plasma in order to diagnose homocystinuria. This genetic disorder causes the body to be unable to process certain amino acids.
Higher levels of homocysteine found in the body is due to having vitamin B6 or B12 deficiencies. Finding higher levels may indicate possible cardiovascular disease; however, reducing the levels of homocysteine in the body does not appear to remedy the situation.
