Amino Acids

These are the Amino Acids found in Proteins.

Proteins are long polymers of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

They are grouped into four catagories : Acidic / Basic / Uncharged Polar /
Nonpolar

Cysteine	C	Cys	Nonpolar
Glutamine	Q	Gln	Uncharged Polar
Glutamic acid	E	Glu	Acidic
Glycine	G	Gly	Nonpolar
Histidine	H	His	Basic
