No, most of the R-groups of the 20 standard amino acids have strong bonds that do not allow them to be ionizable. All charged amino acids are ionizable (positive and negative) but only Cys and Tyr have pKRs for the rest.

What are the component of amino acid?

The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.
