Summary Introduction
Amino acids play a major role in biological processes of all organisms and it acts as building blocks. The organisms obtain amino acids from environment by biosynthesis of glucose or other carbon sources. There are twenty essential amino acids identified so far. An amino acid family is group that is structurally related to each other. The amino acids in the amino acid family have common biosynthetic pathways.
