Welcome

Welcome to Amino Acids Information Guide, a free amino resource guide. We offer free amino information in the form of amino news, amino blog discussion and links to editor reviewed amino web sites.

In chemistry, an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amine and carboxyl functional groups. In biochemistry, this shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids: those amino acids in which the amino and carboxylate functionalities are attached to the same carbon, the so-called a carbon. These amino acids are used as the basic components of proteins. There are twenty 'standard' amino acids used by cells in protein biosynthesis that are specified by the general genetic code. A list of standard amino acids describes their chemical structures and basic physical and chemical properties.

Please make an amino selection from the navigation.
