    Glossary Amino Acids

    organic compounds forming proteins, essential for biological functions

    Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for various biological functions in the body. Each amino acid contains an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a unique side chain that determines its properties. There are 20 standard amino acids that combine in different sequences to form proteins, playing crucial roles in processes such as tissue repair, nutrient absorption, and enzyme function.
