The brain uses three amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine to make the three major neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine).26 But a 2020 study found seven amino acids that could potentially improve older adults cognitive, social, and psychological functioning: leucine, lysine, isoleucine, histidine, valine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan.27 Similar to NALT for tyrosine, you might see some of these amino acids listed as acronyms
The success of such surface-based conjugation hinges on two critical criteria: (i) the availability of orthogonal chemical handles that selectively target specific amino acid residues without cross-reacting with other surface-exposed side chains, and (ii) coupling chemistries that preserve native protein folding and function
