WEBAmino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They contain an amino group, carboxylic acid group, alpha carbon, and side chain. Most amino acids have a chiral carbon, which allows them to rotate polarized light. Amino acids can have either an L- or D- configuration, but only the L- form is found in the human body.

WEBSep 21, 2023 · What are amino acids? Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, i.e., they are the monomers of proteins. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both an amine ( −NH2) and a carboxylic acid ( −COOH) group in the same molecule. For example, alanine, shown on the right, is an amino acid.

WEBJun 9, 2019 · Amino Acid Groups. Amino acids can be classified into four general groups based on the properties of the "R" group in each amino acid. Amino acids can be polar, nonpolar, positively charged, or negatively charged. Polar amino acids have "R" groups that are hydrophilic, meaning that they seek contact with aqueous solutions.
