(Rac)-sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate sodium is an α-site substrate analogue that strongly inhibits the reaction rate of indole and nucleophilic indole analogues with E(A-A). It is a phosphorylated derivative of glycerol, produced as an intermediate in the glycolysis pathway, regulating tryptophan synthesis through allosteric inhibition. This compound can serve as a phosphorus, carbon, and energy source for microorganisms, making it suitable for microbial cultivation. It also binds to metal ions, forming insoluble phosphate minerals, which can be used for in situ bioremediation.
