Amino Acids

Product Details :

Minimum Order Quantity: 1 Set

Organic compounds possessing one or more basic amino groups and one or more acidic carboxyl groups. Of the more than 80 amino acidswhich have been found in living organisms, about 20 serve as the building blocks for the proteins.

All the amino acids of proteins, and most of the others which occur naturally, are α-amino acids, meaning that an amino group (—NH2) and acarboxyl group (—COOH) are attached to the same carbon atom. This carbon (the α carbon, being adjacent to the carboxyl group) alsocarries a hydrogen atom; its fourth valence is satisfied by any of a wide variety of substitutent groups
