Aszpartátsavvá

Aszpartátsavvá is a Hungarian word that translates to aspartic acid in English. Aspartic acid is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids, meaning it is one of the building blocks used by living organisms to synthesize proteins. It is classified as an acidic amino acid due to the presence of a carboxyl group in its side chain, which can donate a proton at physiological pH, giving it a negative charge. This property makes it important for various biological functions, including acting as a neurotransmitter, a component of enzyme active sites, and a precursor for other molecules like asparagine and purines. In its deprotonated form, it is known as aspartate. The term "aszpartátsavvá" specifically refers to the acid form of this amino acid in the Hungarian language.
