1. Asparagine

   Asparagine (symbol Asn or N) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH+3 form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain carboxamide, classifying it as a polar (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it. It is encoded by the codons AAU and AAC.

1. asparagine

   Asparagine is a type of amino acid that is used by the body to help build proteins. It is a non-essential amino acid, which means the body is able to produce it naturally and it is not essential to obtain it from the diet. Asparagine plays an important role in the function of the central nervous system, the production of ammonia, and the synthesis of other amino acids. Its name comes from asparagus, a vegetable in which asparagine was first identified in high quantities. Asparagine is also found in other foods such as dairy products, beef, poultry, eggs, fish, and nuts.

1. Asparagine

   Asparagine is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids on Earth. It has carboxamide as the side-chain's functional group. It is not an essential amino acid. Its codons are AAU and AAC. A reaction between asparagine and reducing sugars or reactive carbonyls produces acrylamide in food when heated to sufficient temperature. These products occur in baked goods such as French fries, potato chips, and toasted bread.

1. Asparagine

   A non-essential amino acid that is involved in the metabolic control of cell functions in nerve and brain tissue. It is biosynthesized from ASPARTIC ACID and AMMONIA by asparagine synthetase. (From Concise Encyclopedia Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed)
