Amino Acids, Acidic

Overview

Acidic amino acids are amino acids that contain a carboxyl group in their side chain, giving them a net negative charge at physiological pH. The two standard acidic amino acids are aspartic acid and glutamic acid, which play critical roles in protein structure, enzyme catalysis, and molecular recognition. Research published in the International Journal of Amino Acids has examined acidic amino acids in the context of protein-ligand interactions, particularly investigating how natural polyphenolic compounds interact with viral spike protein receptor-binding domains and their human receptor targets. This work explores the molecular binding mechanisms that may involve acidic residues at
