    The document discusses the 20 common amino acids, categorizing them as either essential, conditionally essential, or dispensable. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the organism and must be obtained through diet. Conditionally essential amino acids can have limited synthesis under pathological conditions. Dispensable amino acids can be synthesized in the body. Each amino acid is also assigned a single letter abbreviation and three letter abbreviation. The source of this information is also cited.
