    The document discusses amino acids and proteins. It defines amino acids as molecules containing both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. Amino acids link together through peptide bonds to form protein polymers. There are 20 standard alpha-amino acids that differ in their variable side chains and can be combined in various sequences to produce proteins with different structures and functions essential for life. The handedness and chirality of amino acids are also discussed.
