Nomenclature

I have reverted back to the IUPAC name I added because I got the name from an IUPAC publication. I think these should be the correct names for all of the amino acids since they are from IUPAC. Borb 19:23, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Hangover Pill?

Paraxine, which contains Asparagine, is advertised as an "anti-hangover pill", with claims that it can break down 55% of ingested alcohol within an hour?? Any comments? -- megA (talk) 07:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, checked it. Would stay away from it. From the FeelGoodShop, which a very dubious website and from the (it seems) producer of Paraxine, Cobeco: https://shop.cobeco.nl/health/brochures/cobeco-product-catalogue-2018-1, which as the link suggests, has updated its product catalog last in 2018... really? Further, exports documents etc. documentation are missing. Video exists, https://cobeco.nl/company, but the rest... IMHO? No. KR 17387349L8764 (talk) 20:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PS as Flavor enhancer? https://www.cfsanappsexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm?set=FoodSubstances&id=ASPARAGINE I don't think this this hang-over thing is real. BR 17387349L8764 (talk) 22:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IN plants I think things are a little different with 2 catabolic pathways. Rich Farmbrough, 11:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]

External link

The link for "Why Asparagus Makes Your Pee Stink" no longer leads to a page that explains why asparagus makes your pee stink. I suggest it be replaced with a link that does explain that, or be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.233.174 (talk) 16:01, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Molecular Formula

What's the molecular formula?
Eg: Phenylalanine has a chemical formula of C9H11NO2 but a molecular forumla of C6H5CH2CHCOOH

Asparagine and Breast Cancer.

Published online: 07 February 2018

Title: Asparagine bioavailability governs metastasis in a model of Breast Cancer

"Limiting asparagine by knockdown of asparagine synthetase, treatment with L-asparaginAse (Enzyme), or Dietary asparagine restriction reduces metastasis without affecting growth of the primary tumour, whereas increased dietary asparagine or enforced asparagine synthetase expression promotes metastatic progression. This provides at least one potential mechanism for how the bioavailability of a single amino acid could regulate metastatic progression".

What about other cancers?
