Amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen (although they also may contain sulfur).

  • The amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are linearly linked by peptide bonds.

  • Amino acids are composed of an alpha atom of carbon (C) connected to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom (H), and different types of side chains (R group).

  • The different types of amino acids are largely determined by the type and composition of the side R chain.

In conclusion, amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen (although they also may contain sulfur).
