Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino and carboxylic groups. In the form of proteins, amino acid residues form the second-largest component of human muscles and other tissues. Beyond their role as residues in proteins, amino acids participate in a number of processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis.

Consider the following sequence of reaction for production of an alpha amino acid. The amino acid formed is:

H_{2} N - C H_{2} - C O O H
