    This document lists the 20 standard amino acids found in proteins and provides key information about each amino acid including its name, abbreviation, structure, and properties of its side chain such as charge and pKa. The amino acids are grouped based on the characteristics of their side chains as nonpolar, polar, positively charged, negatively charged. Glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, proline make up the nonpolar amino acids. Serine, threonine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine are among the polar amino acids. Lysine, arginine, histidine are positively charged. Aspart
