   Aspartic acid
   `Aspartic acid` (abbreviated as `Asp` or `D`) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CO2H. The L-isomer is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. Its codons are GAU and GAC. It is classified as an acidic amino acid, together with glutamic acid. Aspartic acid is pervasive in biosynthesis. As with all amino acids, the location of acid protons depends on the pH of the solution and the cry...

    aspartic acid
    aspartic acid (uspär'tik) , organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. Only the l-stereoisomer participates in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its acidic side chain adds a negative charge and hence a greater degree of water-solubility to proteins in neutral...
