Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.

Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.


What is the difference between amino acids and proteins?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more chains of amino acids linked together. In other words, amino acids are the individual units that make up proteins.


How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?

"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.
