Glutamine
Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring, nonessential amino acid in the human body, and one of the few amino acids that can directly cross the blood–brain barrier. Humans obtain glutamine through catabolism of proteins in foods they eat. In states where tissue is being built or repaired, like growth of babies, or healing from wounds or severe illness, glutamine becomes conditionally essential.

where "c" = composition, "p" = polarity, and "v" = molecular volume; and are constants of squares of the inverses of the mean distance for each property, respectively equal to 1.833, 0.1018, 0.000399. According to Grantham's distance, most similar amino acids are leucine and isoleucine and the most distant are cysteine and tryptophan.
