Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They contain a basic amino group (-NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (-COOH), and a distinctive side chain (R group) that imparts specific properties to each amino acid. The central carbon atom, known as the alpha carbon, is bonded to the amino group, carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and the side chain.
There are 20 standard amino acids that make up the proteins in the human body, and they are classified into two groups:
Essential Amino Acids: These are the amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through diet. They include:
Non-essential Amino Acids: These can be synthesized by the body and are not required to be obtained through diet. They include:
