Description
A class of organic acids that contain both an amine group and a carboxylic acid group. There are 25 amino acids that are the basic building blocks for proteins. Individual amino acids can be broken apart by the hydrolysis of proteins, then analyzed by chromatography to characterize the composition of the parent compound.
