Message definition (Amino acid)
The two negatively charged amino acids at neutral pH are [[Aspartic acid|aspartate]] (Asp, D) and [[Glutamic acid|glutamate]] (Glu, E). The anionic carboxylate groups behave as [[Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory|Brønsted bases]] in most circumstances. Enzymes in very low pH environments, like the aspartic protease [[pepsin]] in mammalian stomachs, may have catalytic aspartate or glutamate residues that act as Brønsted acids.
