Glutamic Acid Molecular Structure - 3D Visualization #3683667 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D model depicts glutamic acid, a non-essential α-amino acid with a negatively charged carboxylic acid side chain. Gray spheres represent carbon atoms, white are hydrogens, red are oxygens, blue is nitrogen, and purple indicates the terminal functional group in this rendering. The molecule features two carboxyl groups (-COOH) and one amino group (-NH₂), essential for its role in metabolism and neural signaling.

Used in biochemistry education, scientific publications, and molecular modeling resources to illustrate amino acid structure; matches user intent for learning about proteinogenic amino acids or visualizing molecular geometry.
