∙ 7y agoIs an organic compound that contains both a basic amino group and a carboxyl group. The alpha amino acids, in which the amino group is attached to the alpha carbon, are the building blocks (or monomers) of peptides and proteins. The amimno acids are commonly classified either as: a) neutral, basic, or acidic, or as b) nonpolar, polar and uncharged, or polar and charged, according to their structures.
