●Serine
Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins.
Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein synthesis, tissue repair and nutrient absorption.
There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins and all have the same basic structure, differing only in the R-group or side chain they have. The simplest, and smallest, amino acid is glycine for which the R-group is a hydrogen (H).
They can be subdivided according to their properties, dictated by the functional groups they possess.
