L-GLUCOSE
L-Glucose is the enantiomer of D-glucose and is not metabolized as an energy source due to its inability to be phosphorylated by hexokinase. It serves as a valuable control compound in metabolic research, particularly for in vitro and in vivo studies investigating carbohydrate transport and enzyme specificity.
