About MolGenT	Acidic The individual properties of amino acids are determined by their side groups. Some amino acids are acidic, meaning that their side groups release a hydrogen ion and become negatively charged when in the environment of a living cell. One acidic amino acid is called aspartate and has a negatively charged carboxyl group as part of its side group. The other acidic amino acid is known as glutamate, and is also characterized by a carboxyl group with a negative charge. Of the twenty amino acids, only these two are acidic.
