Amino acid molecules contain two functional groups, amino and carboxyl groups, and side chains unique to each amino acid. They can be divided into α-,β-,γ-Amino acids are essential substances for the human body and the material basis of life. Amino acid derivatives are substances formed by a series of reactions of amino acids, such as the synthesis of amino acid derivatives by the joint deamination of amino acids, that is, the predecessor of amino acid Derivatives are amino acids. Many substances in the human body, such as adrenaline and thyroid hormones, are amino acid derivatives.
