This <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVyGnJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NonessentialAminoAcidType</a> is also an excitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Its abbreviations are Asp and D. AsparticAcid aspartic acids Aspartic acid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartic_acid AA AminoAcid A collection of organic compounds that are the building blocks for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0ARKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ProteinMolecule</a>s. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVibZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AminoAcid</a>s contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. One way to partition this collection is according to the side chains: acidic, basic, uncharged polar, and nonpolar. Another collection division is that of amino acids required for protein synthesis and not synthesized by humans, essential amino acids, and those amino acids required for protein synthesis but are synthesized by humans, non-essential amino acids.
