    Amino Acids Research Paper

    Amino acids are biologically organic compounds containing amine and carboxylic acid functional groups, usually along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The elements that are key of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. There are about 500 different kinds of amino acids found but we recognize 23 of the amino acids that are known, they are classified into three groups, essential semi-essential, and non-essential. Each amino acid has unique characteristics arising from the size, shape, solubility, and ionization properties of its R group. In the form of proteins, amino acids comprise the second-largest component of human muscles, cells and other tissues, water being first. Outside proteins, amino…
