Glutamic acid (Glu, E, glutamate) amino acid and neurotransmitter molecule. Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. Also responsible for umami flavor. Three representations: 2D skeletal formula, 3D ball-and-stick model, 3D space-filling model. Atoms are represented as spheres with conventional color coding: hydrogen (white), carbon (grey), oxygen (red), nitrogen (blue).
