Aspartic acid is the Aspartame ingredient that Dr. John Olney (Washington School of Medicine medical researcher) identified as the agent that caused "holes" (lesions) to form in the brains of laboratory mice. Lesions in the brain can result in genetic damage, which I currently identify as a probable and realistic cause of autism.

What type of interaction between aspartic acid and histidine?

Aspartic acid can form a strong ionic interaction with histidine due to the negatively charged carboxyl group in aspartic acid and the positively charged imidazole group in histidine. This interaction is important for stabilizing protein structures and facilitating enzymatic reactions.


Aspartic acid C4H7NO4 is an amino acid used to make proteins It has a molar mass of 133.11 g mol What is the mass percent of oxygen in aspartic acid?

To find the mass percent of oxygen in aspartic acid, we calculate the molar mass contribution of oxygen (O) in the compound and divide it by the total molar mass of the compound, then multiply by 100%. Aspartic acid has 4 oxygen atoms contributing to a total molar mass of 64.00 g/mol. Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen in aspartic acid is (64.00 g/mol / 133.11 g/mol) * 100% = 48.10%.


What is an aspartase?

An aspartase is an enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of aspartic acid to fumaric acid and ammonia.
