Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid groups. Amino acids contain distinctive side chains also known as R-group. It is the distinctive properties of these side chains that give each amino acid its unique characteristics and functions. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids determine the three-dimensional structure and function of proteins, which are essential for nearly all biological processes. They can be classified based on the distinct properties of their side chains, which can be polar, nonpolar, acidic, or basic, contributing to the vast array of functions they serve within the body.
