Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, featuring an amino group (–NH2), carboxyl group (–COOH), and a distinct side chain (R-group). There are 20 standard amino acids in proteins, each with unique properties affecting protein structure and function. Amino acids link via peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains. Understanding their structure and behavior is essential in nutrition, enzymology, and pharmaceutical development.
