Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This): A Review and Perspectives on Aspartic Acid Production

Aspartic acid, or “aspartate,” is a non-essential, four carbon amino acid produced and used by the body in two enantiomeric forms: L-aspartic D-aspartic acid. The L-configuration of acids dominant form protein synthesis; thus, far more common configuration. However, one only known D-amino biosynthesized eukaryotes. While biosynthesis neurotransmission, associated with neurogenesis endocrine system. production use has been growing recent years. purpose this article to discuss various perspectives on aspartic including its industrial utility, global markets, manufacturing, optimization, challenges, future outlook. As such, review will provide thorough background key biochemical.
