The monomer of a protein is an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins, linking together through peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains. Each amino acid consists of a central carbon atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain (R group) that determines the characteristics of the amino acid. There are 20 different standard amino acids that combine in various sequences to create a wide variety of proteins.
