QID 402303:
Question asks to select a molecule from a given series of answer options that would be most likely to interact with glutamate and aspartate specifically. In this case, the detail on which it hinges is the charge/polarity, and this requires being familiar with the character of both amino acids specifically in order to be able to answer the question appropriately.

Tip: For 1 Letter, look at all the P in full and 3 letter names of asPartate, if you cut off the bottom half of this letter P then you get D, the one letter code for asPartate.
Negatively Charged
Acidic
Related to Asparagine, as the both have same C# and same carbonyl but instead of the -OH group that would be present in Aspartatic Acid (the form before ionization into Aspartate-), the Asparagine would have an amine in place of it.
Glutamate is just a longer Aspartate. Similarly, Glutamine is just a longer Asparagine. The Glutam- counterparts seem to be longer than their Asp- counterparts here.

Note: Though the following visual is helpful, it is misleading to label methionine under the 'polar, uncharged' category. Also do not condone the 'ass***' mnemonic.
