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]

Hi, Ok this seems done now? Article looks good, your comment is from 2005.. KR

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]

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.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25465

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?

Two skeletal formulas in infobox, one without caption

In the current version of the article there are two skeletal formulas in the infobox:

, captioned as "Skeletal formula of L-asparagine", and
, with no caption.
(Under these are two 3d models of the chemical, those pose no problem.)

Now, going by the filenames of these images, both are L-asparagine, but I must say that as a layperson with a casual interest (but no training) in biochemistry I was quite confused with what the second, uncaptioned image was; at a quick glance it doesn't look like the first chemical at all.

Perhaps somebody who knows what they're writing about could add a caption for the second image as well, or remove it if it's incorrect? oatco (talk) 01:38, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
