Expert Solution
Step 1

Amino acids are the basic units of proteins. Amino acids contains a carbon atom that is bound to a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a carboxylic group and a R group which is the side chain. Amino acids differ the side chain that they contain and the properties of the amino acids are dependent on the side chain. Based on the R group, the amino acids are classified into basic, acidic, aromatic, aliphatic and sulphur containing amino acids. 

Amino acids are capable of forming a peptide bond in which the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of the another amino acid. This process also releases a molecule of water. The formation of multiple dipeptide bonds results in a formation of a polypeptide chain.
