L-aspartic acid has been used as one of the components of synthetic drop out media for culturing budding yeast.It has also been used to study non-enzymatic gluconeogenesis.

Aspartic acid (abbreviated as Asp or D encoded by the codons [GAU and GAC]) also known as aspartate is an -amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an -amino group (which is in the protonated NH 3 form under biological conditions) an -carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated COO form under biological conditions) and a side chain CH2COOH. Under physiological conditions in proteins the sidechain usually occurs as the negatively charged aspartate form COO. It is semi-essential in humans meaning the body can synthesize it from oxaloacetate.
