Amino acids are organic compounds containing a basic amino group, an acidic carboxyl group and a side chain group R.
The main elements of an amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N). The R group represents 20 different side chains, which can be a simple hydrogen atom (H) or a complex carbon chain function. The physical and chemical properties of the side chain genes R determine the unique properties and functions of each amino acid or even the entire protein.
