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.
