I can remember 8 years ago on turkey day it was so warm i fished in a t-shirt from my canoe at my fathers house. Throwing a c-rig on a rock pile that i found by hitting it with my paddle. I caught 3 bass in a few minutes then went back for desert. I remember that because my son was born 6 days later.So the wife was pregnant and wanted me outa her hair. Good ploy on my part.
What's The 'L' stand for my culinary com padre?
May the magic of tryptophan sprinkle it's self over your day MAFF
It's "L" Tryptophan, the L variety of this enzyme is the one that knocks you out
What's The 'L' stand for my culinary com padre?
Origially, "L" meant levorotatory, if you really want to know. It's the "handedness" (left/right) of the molecule. The l- enantiomer (or isomer, or form, lower case here) is defined as the form that rotates the plane of polarized light passing through it counter-clockwise... The d form (dextrorotatory) the other way... For amino acids like tryptophan, capital L and D refer now to the absolute stereochemistry and not the direction of rotation of polarized light.
Put more succinctly, L-amino acids are the natural ones that make up a significant portion of that turkey you just ate.
HOLY MACARONI MA MAN ! NICE RESPONSE !

Technically it's not an enzyme... it's an amino acid (and a precursor to serotonin...)
Happy Turkey Eating!
