Aspartic acid (abbreviated as D-AA, Asp, or D) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HOOCCH(NH2)CH2COOH. The carboxylate anion and salts of aspartic acid are known as aspartate. The L-isomer of aspartate is one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. Its codons are GAU and GAC.
Aspartic acid is, together with glutamic acid, classified as an acidic amino acid with a pKa of3.9, however, in a peptide, the pKa is highly dependent on the local environment. A pKa as high as 14 is not at all uncommon. Aspartate is pervasive in biosynthesis. As with all amino acids, the presence of acid protons depends on on the residue's local chemical environment and the pH of the solution.
l-arginine l-aspartate is one of the 20 amino acids that build up protein. l-arginine l-aspartate is one of the non-essential amino acids, meaning it can be synthesised in the body.
l-arginine l-aspartate is a precursor of nitric oxide and other metabolites. It is an important component of collagen, enzymes ,skin and connective tissues. l-arginine l-aspartate plays important roles in the synthesis of various protein molecules; creatine being the most easily recognised. It may have antioxidant property and reduces accumulation of compounds such as ammonia and plasma lactate, by-products of physical exercise. It also inhibits platelet aggregation and has also been known to decrease blood pressure.
It is important in the synthesis of other amino acids and some nucleotides, and is a metabolite in the citric acid and urea cycles.Currently, almost all the aspartic acids are manufactured in China. Its application include being used as low calorie sweetener (as the part of the aspartame), scale and corrosion inhibitor, and in resins. One of its growing applications is for the manufacturing of biodegradable superabsorbent polymer, polyaspartic acid. It can also be used in fertilizer industry to improve water retention and nitrogen uptake.
L-Aspartic acid is used as a component of parenteral and enteral nutrition and as a pharmaceutical ingredient. it is used for cell culture and in manufacturing processes. It is widely utilized for mineral supplementation in the salt form.
