Note:
* Amino acids with an asterisk are essential amino acids, that must be supplemented through diet.
| At pH = 7, Asp and Glu have a net negative charge and exist as anions. At pH = 7, Lys and Arg have a
net positive charge and exist as cations. Rest of the amino acids at this pH exist in the neutral form.
% Structurally, in cystine, the two cysteine molecules are joined through sulfur (disulfide linkage).
@@ Proline is an a-imino acid.
@ Except Glycine all other amino acids are optically active.
