Aminocarboxylic acids

Aminocarboxylic acid is a nitrogen-containing organic substance involved in most biological processes in living organisms. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of all proteins, being their chemical building block. Proteins play a key role in metabolism, supporting muscle mass, health and the body's immune system. People get amino acids from the plant and animal proteins they eat. People produce fewer amino acids than their bodies require, so people need to get plenty of protein from their diets.

An amine is a group of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms that gives the molecule a bipolar electrical charge. The nitrogen group (N) is characterized by chemical properties that allow it to easily establish bonds with other atoms, such as H, C, O, S, NH2. Properties of amino acids. Nitrogen has 3 elements that give the molecule acidic properties - O, H, N. The main reasons that some amino acids are not primary are too many acidic properties.

Several other properties that characterize amino acids follow from their chemical composition:
