General description
Aspartic acid(ASP)/aspartate, a non-essential amino acid, is naturally produced by mammals. ASP is one of the 20 building-block amino acids of proteins and has a one letter code, D. L-Aspartic acid can be manufactured industrially by an enzymatic process using the aspartase enzyme.
Application
L-Aspartic acid has been used:
- as an aspartame (ASP) metabolite to determine acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the hippocampal homogenate of suckling rats
- as printed chemotaxis ligands to screen chemotaxis receptors with high-throughput technologies and verify the interactions with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- as a supplement in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) for supplementation assays of various cultured cell lines
Biochem/physiol Actions
Principal neurotransmitter for fast synaptic excitation.

Despite many years of research into bacterial chemotaxis, the only well characterized system to date is that of E. coli. Even for E. coli, the direct ligand binding had been fully characterized only for aspartate and serene receptors Tar and
