An amino acid molecule is formed by a primary amino group and a carboxylic acid group substituent on the same carbon atom (the alpha carbon), leaving two coordination links available, one is occupied by a hydrogen and the other by a side chain that gives to the molecule their identity. There is an exception, the amino acid proline that has a secondary amino group.
