Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Amino acids are the building blocks of the protein molecule. An amino acid is the amino derivative of keto acids and consists of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a variable R group as a side chain bonded to the a-carbon atom. Amino acids are associated with other amino acids to develop polypeptide chains. Several different chemical bonds are found in protein structures like peptide bond, hydrogen bond, ionic bond, and hydrophobic bond, and the disulfide bond.
