AB  - Amino  acids  are  the  basic  building  blocks  of  proteins  and  serve  as  biological  molecules  in  their  own  right  with  a  variety  of  functions.  Amino  acids  are  often  categorized  as  essential  or  non-essential,  depending  on  the  ability  of  the  body  to  manufacture  each  amino  acid  versus  requirement  for  ingestion  from  the  diet.  Although  several  hundred  amino  acids  exist,  20  play  a  predominant  role  in  the  human  body.  Each  amino  acid  has  a  characteristic  R-group  that  determines  its  chemical  nature  and,  therefore,  how  it  will  interact  with  other  amino  acids,  other  molecules,  and  with  its  environment.
