Glutamic acid: History & Applications

Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E; known as glutamate in its anionic form), molecular formula C5H9NO4, is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all organisms for the biosynthesis of proteins. It is an conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body can generally synthesize it intrinsically, but under certain circumstances needs to procure it…
