What is Amino Acids: Structure, Properties, and Ionization about?

1) Amino acids contain both an amino group and a carboxyl group, with the amino group adjacent to the carboxyl group. Most amino acids exist as zwitterions at physiological pH. 2) All protein-derived amino acids except glycine are chiral, with nearly all having the L-configuration. Alanine and glyceraldehyde are used as examples to illustrate chirality. 3) There are 20 common protein-derived amino acids that vary in properties based on their side chains, which can be nonpolar, polar, acidic, or basic.
