Term Name: L-tryptophan biosynthetic process
Synonyms: aromatic amino acid family biosynthetic process, anthranilate pathway, L-tryptophan anabolism, L-tryptophan biosynthesis, tryptophan biosynthetic process, tryptophan formation, tryptophan synthesis
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of L-tryptophan, the chiral amino acid 2-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid; L-tryptophan is synthesized from chorismate via anthranilate.
