Abstract
Amino acids are organic compounds included in the protein structure. They contain functional groups of an amine and a carboxyl group. Approximately 500 naturally occurring amino acids are known, although only 20 are found in the human genetic code. Amino acids play an essential role in the human body. They participate in the formation of all kinds of tissues, the production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies, the proper functioning of the nervous system, the restoration of cells, etc. Amino acids in the human body are divided into essential, conditionally essential and nonessential amino acids. 9 of the 20 amino acids present in the body are essential, those which are not produced in our body and required to be supplied from outside. The remaining 11 are non-essential amino acids that human bodies can produce even if we do not get them from the food we eat by converting other amino acids.
