31. Glutamic acid has been implicated in epileptic seizures.32. The protein is rich in acidic residues : 30-36 % are either aspartic or glutamic acid . 33. As a result, Yamecha is high in flavour-producing compounds such as theanine, glutamic acid , and arginine. 34. At the time he proposed that the compound was a dipeptide of glutamic acid and cysteine. 35. The protein itself is very acidic and is very rich in aspartic acid and glutamic acid . 36. Peas and sweet corn have the highest levels of free glutamic acid when hyper-fresh and perfectly ripe. 37. It is derived from glutamic acid , a naturally occurring amino acid found in some types of seaweed. 38. This is in contrast to the proteinogenic amino acid glutamine, which is the 5-amide of glutamic acid . 39. The activated form is then responsible for the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in some blood-clotting proteins. 40. When it is metabolized by the plant, the glutamic acid analog glufosinate is released which inhibits glutamine synthetase.
