The molecule is a doubly-charged N-acyl-L-alpha-amino acid anion resulting from deprotonation of both carboxy groups of N-formyl-L-glutamic acid. It is a dicarboxylic acid dianion and a N-acyl-L-alpha-amino acid anion. It derives from a L-glutamate(2-). It is a conjugate base of a N-formyl-L-glutamic acid.
