Compound	Description
5-methyltetrahydrofolate
Succinate
ammonium hydroxide	The hydroxy salt of ammonium ion. It is formed when AMMONIA reacts with water molecules in solution.
methionine	A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.
Water	A clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid	RN given refers to (DL)-isomer
Pyruvic Acid	An intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
homoserine
o-succinylhomoserine	RN given refers to (L)-isomer
Hydrogen	The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas.
succinyl-coenzyme a
coenzyme a
homocysteine	A thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of METHIONINE.
