  2. Glutamic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid

    Glutamic acid ball and stick model spinning. Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E; [4] known as glutamate in its anionic form) is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is a non-essential nutrient for humans, meaning that the human body can synthesize enough for its use.

  3. Glutamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamine

    Glutamine (symbol Gln or Q) [3] is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide. It is classified as a charge-neutral, polar amino acid.

  4. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    The food industry is a major consumer of amino acids, especially glutamic acid, which is used as a flavor enhancer, [103] and aspartame (aspartylphenylalanine 1-methyl ester), which is used as an artificial sweetener. [104]

  5. γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine

    γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine, also known as γ-glutamylcysteine (GGC), is a dipeptide found in animals, plants, fungi, some bacteria, and archaea.It has a relatively unusual γ-bond between the constituent amino acids, L-glutamic acid and L-cysteine and is a key intermediate in the γ-glutamyl cycle first described by Meister in the 1970s.

  6. Glutamate (neurotransmitter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_(neurotransmitter)

    Glutamate is a very major constituent of a wide variety of proteins; consequently it is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. [1] Glutamate is formally classified as a non-essential amino acid, because it can be synthesized (in sufficient quantities for health) from α-ketoglutaric acid, which is produced as part of the citric acid cycle by a series of reactions whose ...

  7. Glutamate flavoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_flavoring

    Glutamate flavoring is the generic name for flavor-enhancing compounds based on glutamic acid and its salts (glutamates). These compounds provide an umami (savory) taste to food. Glutamic acid and glutamates are natural constituents of many fermented or aged foods, including soy sauce, fermented bean paste, and cheese.

  8. Amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_synthesis

    The commercial production of amino acids usually relies on mutant bacteria that overproduce individual amino acids using glucose as a carbon source. Some amino acids are produced by enzymatic conversions of synthetic intermediates. 2-Aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of L-cysteine for example.

  9. Polyglutamic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglutamic_acid

    Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is a polymer of the amino acid glutamic acid (GA). Depending on where the individual monomers connect, PGA can be gamma PGA (poly-γ-glutamic acid, γ-PGA), the form where the peptide bonds are between the amino group of GA and the carboxyl group at the end of the GA side chain, or alpha PGA, the form where the alpha-carboxyl is used to form the peptide bond.
