3. An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made
up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic
carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group
(or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.

4. Amino acids are organic compounds that
combine to form proteins. Amino acids and
proteins are the building blocks of life. When
proteins are digested or broken down, amino
acids are left. The human body uses amino
acids to make proteins to help the body:
Break down food.

amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of
proteins. It contains an α-amino group an α-
carboxylic acid group .

10. Lysine is an amino acid (building block of
protein). People use it to make
medicine. Lysine is used for preventing and
treating cold sores (caused by the virus called
herpes simplex labialis). It is taken by mouth
or applied directly to the skin for this use.

16. Amino acids, often referred to as the building
blocks of proteins, are compounds that play
many critical roles in your body. They're
needed for vital processes like the building
of proteins and synthesis of hormones and
neurotransmitters

17. A large proportion of our cells, muscles and
tissue is made up of amino acids, meaning
they carry out many important bodily
functions, such as giving cells their structure.
They also play a key role in the transport and
the storage of nutrients.
17

18. Protein Synthesis. Amino acids play a central
role in protein synthesis, and generating new
proteins represents the primary function of
most of the amino acids.

19.  Protein plays a crucial role in almost all
biological processes and amino acids are the
building blocks of it. A large proportion of
our cells, muscles and tissue is made up of
amino acids, meaning they carry out many
important bodily functions, such as giving
cells their structure.
