It is hydrophobic and nonpolar, one of only twenty common amino acids that are used to produce protein as coded by the DNA. L-Phenylalanine can also convert into L-Tyrosine, which can then become L-DOPA, going forth to become norepinephrine, dopamine or epinephrine. Phenylalanine is very often found in foods, protein rich foods like meat, milk and milk products, poultry and fish, but also as already mentioned in the artificial sweetener aspartame.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide has multiple vital activities to perform in human metabolism. As a coenzyme, it is involved in redox reactions, but also as a provider of adenosine diphosphate – ribose clusters for ADP-ribosylations, as a precursor for the molecule cyclic ADP-ribose, as a substrate for DNA ligases of bacteria, plus removal from acetyl groups out of proteins by sirtuins that employ NAD for that purpose.
