Description
Amino Acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. Each amino acid contains an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a unique side chain (R group). Amino acids are essential in various biological processes including protein synthesis, enzyme activity, and cellular metabolism. They are widely used in food, feed, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources.
