The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

What are Amino Acids?
Amino acids constitute a group of neutral products clearly distinguished from
other natural compounds chemically, mainly because of their ampholytic
properties, and biochemically, mainly because of their role as protein
constituents. An amino acid is a carboxylic acid-containing an aliphatic
primary amino group in the α position to the carboxyl group and with a
characteristic stereochemistry. Proteins are biosynthesized from 20 amino
acids in a system involving strict genetic control. Thus, amino acids are the
2. basic unit of proteins. More than 300 amino acids are found in nature but
only 20 amino acids are standard and present in protein because they are
coded by genes. Other amino acids are modified amino acids and are called
non-protein amino acids. Some are residues modified after a protein has
been synthesized by posttranslational modifications; others are amino acids
present in living organisms but not as constituents of proteins.

Properties of Amino acids
Physical Properties
Amino acids are colorless, crystalline solid.
All amino acids have a high melting point greater than 200o
Solubility: They are soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and dissolve
with difficulty in methanol, ethanol, and propanol. R-group of amino acids
and pH of the solvent play important role in solubility.
On heating to high temperatures, they decompose.
All amino acids (except glycine) are optically active.
Peptide bond formation: Amino acids can connect with a peptide bond
involving their amino and carboxylate groups. A covalent bond formed
3. between the alpha-amino group of one amino acid and an alpha-carboxyl
group of other forming -CO-NH-linkage. Peptide bonds are planar and
partially ionic.
Chemical Properties
Zwitterionic property
A zwitterion is a molecule with functional groups, of which at least one has a
positive and one has a negative electrical charge. The net charge of the entire
molecule is zero. Amino acids are the best-known examples of zwitterions.
They contain an amine group (basic) and a carboxylic group (acidic). The -NH2
group is the stronger base, and so it picks up H+ from the -COOH group to
leave a zwitterion. The (neutral) zwitterion is the usual form of amino acids
that exist in the solution.
Amphoteric property
Amino acids are amphoteric in nature that is they act as both acids and base
due to the two amine and carboxylic groups present.
Ninhydrin test
When 1 ml of Ninhydrin solution is added to a 1 ml protein solution and
heated, the formation of a violet color indicates the presence of α-amino
acids.
Xanthoproteic test
The xanthoproteic test is performed for the detection of aromatic amino
acids (tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine) in a protein solution. The
nitration of benzoid radicals present in the amino acid chain occurs due to a
reaction with nitric acid, giving the solution yellow coloration.
Reaction with Sanger’s reagent
Sanger’s reagent (1-fluoro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene) reacts with a free amino
group in the peptide chain in a mild alkaline medium under cold conditions.
4. Reaction with nitrous acid
Nitrous acid reacts with the amino group to liberate nitrogen and form the
corresponding hydroxyl.
Structure of Amino acids
All 20 of the common amino acids are alpha-amino acids. They contain a
carboxyl group, an amino group, and a side chain (R group), all attached to
the α-carbon.
Exceptions are:
Glycine, which does not have a side chain. Its α-carbon contains two
hydrogens.
Proline, in which the nitrogen is part of a ring.
Thus, each amino acid has an amine group at one end and an acid group at
the other, and a distinctive side chain. The backbone is the same for all amino
acids while the side chain differs from one amino acid to the next.
All of the 20 amino acids except glycine are of the L-configuration, as for all
but one amino acid the α-carbon is an asymmetric carbon. Because glycine
does not contain an asymmetric carbon atom, it is not optically active and,
thus, is neither D nor L.
5. Classification of amino acids on the basis of R- group
Amino Acid Chart
Nonpolar, Aliphatic amino acids: The R groups in this class of amino acids are
nonpolar and hydrophobic. Glycine, Alanine, Valine, leucine, Isoleucine,
Methionine, Proline.
Aromatic amino acids: Phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, with their
aromatic side chains, are relatively nonpolar (hydrophobic). All can
participate in hydrophobic interactions.
Polar, Uncharged amino acids: The R groups of these amino acids are more
soluble in water, or more hydrophilic, than those of the nonpolar amino
acids, because they contain functional groups that form hydrogen bonds with
water. This class of amino acids includes serine, threonine, cysteine,
asparagine, and glutamine.
6. Acidic amino acids: Amino acids in which R-group is acidic or negatively
charged. Glutamic acid and Aspartic acid
Basic amino acids: Amino acids in which R-group is basic or positively
charged. Lysine, Arginine, Histidine
Classification of amino acids on the basis of
nutrition
Essential amino acids (Nine)
Nine amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body and, therefore, must be
present in the diet in order for protein synthesis to occur.
These essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Non-essential amino acids (Eleven)
These amino acids can be synthesized in the body itself and hence do not
necessarily need to be acquired through diet.
These non-essential amino acids are Arginine, glutamine, tyrosine, cysteine,
glycine, proline, serine, ornithine, alanine, asparagine, and aspartate.
Classification of amino acids on the basis of the metabolic fate
Glucogenic amino acids: These amino acids serve as precursors of
gluconeogenesis for glucose formation. Glycine, alanine, serine, aspartic acid,
7. asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, proline, valine, methionine, cysteine,
histidine, and arginine.
Ketogenic amino acids: These amino acids break down to form ketone
bodies. Leucine and Lysine.
Both glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids: These amino acids break down
to form precursors for both ketone bodies and glucose. Isoleucine,
Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, and tyrosine.
Functions of Amino acids
In particular, 20 very important amino acids are crucial for life as they contain
peptides and proteins and are known to be the building blocks for all living
things.
The linear sequence of amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain determines
the three-dimensional configuration of a protein, and the structure of a
protein determines its function.
Amino acids are imperative for sustaining the health of the human body.
They largely promote the:
Production of hormones
• Structure of muscles
• Human nervous system’s healthy functioning
• The health of vital organs
• Normal cellular structure
The amino acids are used by various tissues to synthesize proteins and to
produce nitrogen-containing compounds (e.g., purines, heme, creatine,
epinephrine), or they are oxidized to produce energy.
The breakdown of both dietary and tissue proteins yields nitrogen-containing
substrates and carbon skeletons.
The nitrogen-containing substrates are used in the biosynthesis of purines,
pyrimidines, neurotransmitters, hormones, porphyrins, and nonessential
amino acids.
8. The carbon skeletons are used as a fuel source in the citric acid cycle, used for
gluconeogenesis, or used in fatty acid synthesis.
