Aspartic acid (abbreviated as Asp or D, encoded by the codons [GAU and GAC]), also known as aspartate, is an alpha-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.[3] Similar to all other amino acids it contains an amino group and a carboxylic acid. Its alpha-amino group is in the protonated -NH+3 form under...

Description: L-Aspartic acid (Aspatofort) is a non-essential amino acid in humans, L-Aspartic acid has an overall negative charge and plays an important role in the synthesis of other amino acids and in the citric acid and urea cycles. Asparagine, arginine, lysine, methionine, isoleucine, and some nucleotides are...
