D-phenylalanine (enkephalinase inhibitor)
Interesting substance, its one of the few dextro (right-spinning optical isomer) amino acids that you can process or something.
I think its fascinating because its purportedly an endorphin reuptake enkephalinase inhibitor? or something so its potentially quasi-opioidergic. I’m not sold on the notion its legit but its definitely a provocative idea.
Public schools and religious college failed me. I do not have a favorite amino acid.
Alanine. No baroque ornamentation, just the beauty of simplicity. A timeless classic.
Tryptophan. It is a biochemical precursor for important neurotransmitters, vitamins and hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and niacin. There happens to be very high concentrations of it in milk and eggs, both of which I love a lot. It can have sedating effects and make you feel chilled out!
Probably plain L-phenylalanine, since it’s the precursor to phenethylamine, the body’s natural amphetamine.
Have you taken l- or dl-phenylalanine?
Lysine, because ingen tried to use it to control dinosaur populations.
Cysteine, because it makes proteins stable.
Tryptophan because it helps you be happy and sleepy.
Is that what the brain makes after sex?
Metionine, because everything starts of it.
I’m going with the canned Mom ‘I love them all equally’ response because I don’t want any essential amino acid to feel scorned
