There are 20 amino acids necessary for human beings. However, the diversity of proteins is compensated by long, varied, and complex chains of polypeptides.
There are far more than 20 amino acids overall, although most are not especially important in Biology.
See related question below for a listing of all amino acids.

Essential amino acids are those that are "essential" in the diet. In other words, we cannot create them through our own metabolism.
Non-essential amino acids are those which can be produced from other amino acids and substances in the diet and metabolism.

How many different types of amino acids exist?
There are 22 amino acids that humans require for life. however, there are hundreds of different kinds of amino acids.
Proteins are made up of many?
Amino acids... Like this Protien>amino acids>RNA nucleotides The amazing thing is that only 20 different amino acids exist in the human body yet mix/match/repeat to make all of the protiens in the body!
How many amino acids do you have?
There are 20 different amino acids in the human body. There are 20 types of amino acids known as: Alanine Ala A Arginine Arg R Asparagine Asn N Aspartic Acid Asp D Cysteine Cys C Glutamine Gln Q Glutamic Acid Glu E Glycine Gly G Histidine His H Isoleucine Ile I Leucine Leu L Lysine Lys K Methionine Met M Phenylalanine Phe F Proline Pro P Serine Ser S Threonine Thr T Tryptophan Trp W Tyrosine Tyr Y Valine Val V Asparagine or aspartic acid Asx B There are 20 .
Why almost all amino acids in nature will be of the L-configuration?
No one knows, however there are several scientific theories. Personally, I believe it was by chance because neither L or D amino acids are thermodynamically, sterically, chemically or physically favored.
Are amino acids example of lipids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302

Although there are a limited number of amino acids many different types of proteins exist because the?
sequence and number of amino acids is different

Proteins are made up of many?
Amino acids... Like this Protien>amino acids>RNA nucleotides The amazing thing is that only 20 different amino acids exist in the human body yet mix/match/repeat to make all of the protiens in the body!
How many monomers of proteins exist?
20
How many amino acids exist in glycine?
19 or 20
What kind of charge does protein have?
Proteins do have charges based on its amino acid content. there are polar uncharged and acidic, basic amino acids exist in the cells(Lysine, Arginine, asparic acid are a few charged groups). Based on the codes of mRNA proteins are formed by these amino acids in a sequence.
How is this possible for all living things to have unique protein when there are only 20 different type of amino acids?
image an amino acid to be a block of Lego, image a protein being a castle. Imagine how many different castles you can make out of a thousand Lego blocks. Then image how many different castles you can make out of any amount of Lego blocks. A protein is built out of amino acids, thousands of them (upto 27.000 I believe). Then it is folded in a specific way, to ensure it functions the correct way. Every protein is built with a different combination of amino acids, but because they exist of thousands of amino acids, they can differ alot.
What kind of relation exist between fatty acid and amino acid synthesis?
The liver combines fatty acids and amino acids into lipoproteins, which can be easily used by the various cells of the body.
