Exploring Amino Acids and Their Role in Proteins
Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins, essential for various biological functions. Each amino acid contains a central carbon bonded to hydrogen, an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain that distinguishes its properties. The interaction between these components determines the structure and function of the protein. A key feature is their side chains, which can be hydrophobic, hydrophilic, acidic, basic, aromatic, or sulfur-containing, influencing the protein's stability and interactions within the body.
