Amino acids are the basic structural component of proteins and peptides. They contain at least one amino- (–NH 2) and one carboxyl (–COOH) group.
From the point of view of biosynthesis, we can divide them into:
- Non-essential, which the body can synthesize: Gly, Ala, Pro, Ser, Tyr, Cys, Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln
- Essential, which we must take in food
- branched: Val, Leu, Ile
- aromatic: Phe, Trp
- basic (basic): His and Arg (both essential only in childhood or in critical states), Lys
- with sulfur content: Met
- with OH− group: Thr
