Amino Acid

Molecular classification: Building block, Monomer

Overview

Amino acids are organic molecules that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They join together via peptide bonds to form peptides, polypeptides, and ultimately proteins. In living organisms, 20 standard amino acids are directly encoded by the genetic code and assembled into proteins by ribosomes. They participate in metabolic pathways as intermediates or precursors for other biomolecules and some act directly as neurotransmitters or signaling molecules.
