"The Science of Amino Acids: Why They Matter in Everyday Life"
Amino acids are the organic building blocks of proteins and play a crucial role in nearly all biological processes. Structurally, they consist of an amino group (-NH₂), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a variable side chain attached to a central carbon atom. Amino acids are categorized into essential (must be obtained from the diet) and non-essential (synthesized by the body). They are fundamental for protein synthesis, enzyme function, cell signaling, and metabolism. Additionally, amino acids like glycine and glutamate serve as neurotransmitters, while others, like tryptophan, are precursors to important biomolecules such as serotonin and melatonin. 🔔 Subscribe for more insights on chemistry innovations!
