Here is what users have to say about Tryptophan

Tryptophan (IUPAC-IUBMB abbreviation: Trp or W; IUPAC abbreviation: L-Trp or D-Trp; sold for medical use as Tryptan) is one of the 20 standard amino acids, as well as an essential amino acid in the human diet. It is encoded in the standard genetic code as the codon UGG. Only the L-stereoisomer of tryptophan is used in structural or enzyme proteins, but the D-stereoisomer is occasionally found in naturally produced peptides (for example, the marine venom peptide contryphan). The distinguishing structural characteristic of tryptophan is that it contains an indole functional group. Essential amino acid as defined by its growth effects on rats. Solubility in water (g/L): 0.23 at 0 °C; 11.4 at 25 °C, 17.1 at 50 °C, 27.95 at 75 °C. Soluble in hot alcohol, alkali hydroxides; insoluble in chloroform.
