Amino acids is an organic molecule which consists amino group and carboxylic acid group at alternate positions attached with the central carbon atom. These are of three types: 1.Acidic amino acid An amino acid which has more no. of carboxylic group then amino group in a molecule. eg. glutamic acid, Aspartic acid. 2.Basic amino acids An amino acid which has more no. of amino group then carboxylic group in a molecule. eg. Arginine, histidine etc. 3. Neutral amino acids An amino acid which has equal no. of amino and carboxylic group in a molecule. eg. cysteine, glycine etc.

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. There are basically three major classifications for amino acids (1) those with nonpolar R group, (2) those with uncharged polar R groups, and (3) those with charged polar R group. The table below shows us all 20 amino acids with their codes.
