Amino Acids (FBLT)

Amino acids are the basic structural component of proteins and peptides. They contain at least one amino- (–NH 2) and one carboxyl (–COOH) group.

From the point of view of biosynthesis, we can divide them into:


 * 1) Non-essential, which the body can synthesize: Gly, Ala, Pro, Ser, Tyr, Cys, Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln
 * 2) Essential, which we must take in food


 * branched: Val, Leu, Ile
