No.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acid molecules contain hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon atoms in addition to a side chain. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acid molecules attached to one another.

Buffers are solutions that resists a change in pH. A buffer is a mixture of either:

  • A strong acid and a weak base
  • A weak acid and a strong base
