    This document classifies the 20 standard amino acids into different categories based on their side chains. It divides them into nonpolar hydrophobic aliphatic amino acids, nonpolar hydrophobic aromatic amino acids, polar hydrophilic neutral amino acids, polar hydrophilic acidic amino acids, and polar hydrophilic basic amino acids. Each amino acid is listed with its three letter abbreviation and description of its side chain properties. The document was produced for a biochemistry tutorial on March 5, 2024.
