Description:	Amino acids are simple organic compounds containing at least one amino and one carboxylic function. The L-α-amino acids and glycine can be considered building blocks of life since they constitute the biopolymers proteins in all organisms, but also D-isomers, e.g. D-alanine in bacterial cell walls, and β- andγ-amino acids like β-alanine as component of vitamin B5 and γ-aminobutyrate asneurotransmitter occur innature. While mature proteins contain many different amino acids due to post-translational modifications, only 22 proteinogenic L-α-amino acids are genetically encoded, i.e. they are used for protein biosynthesis as amino acyl-tRNAs by the ribosome
