Amino acid
Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins, playing various roles in metabolism and biosynthesis. There are 20 standard amino acids, classified into nonpolar, polar, acidic, and basic groups, with some being essential for human nutrition. They exhibit unique ionization properties at different pH levels, often existing as zwitterions in physiological conditions.
