amino acid |
The basic building block of protein. All amino acids contain an amino (NH 2 ) end, a carboxyl end (COOH) and a side group (R). In proteins, amino acids are joined together when the NH 2 group of one forms a bond with the COOH group of the adjacent amino acid. The side group is what distinguishes each of the amino acids from the others. ...
