Product Description
Asparagine was the first amino acid to be isolated in 1806 by French chemists Louis Nicolas Vauquelin and Pierre Jean Robiquet. It was appropriately named after the material from which it was purified - asparagus juice.
Asparagines are often found in the turn motifs of beta sheets and near the beginning and end of alpha-helices, as the amino acid's side chain can form hydrogen bond interactions with the peptide backbone. This residue also provides sites for N-linked glycosylation, in which an enzyme attaches a carbohydrate to asparagine's nitrogen atom.
