One of the EXCITATORY AMINO ACIDS; aspartic acid and GLUTAMIC ACID are described as the two major excitatory NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the central nervous system. The concentration of both is relatively high in comparison to other amino acids involved in...

(S)-Aminosuccinic acid; L-Asparagic acid; L-Asparaginic acid As a protein amino acid it is found in all plants. As the free amino acid it is found in coffee, Coffea spp. (Rubiaceae), liquorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra (Leguminosae), and many foods,...
