Classification Of Amino Acids
73
Amino acid is the building unit of protein , which have important role in our body because:
1-Amino acids used to compose antibodies which have role in immune system against microbial infection
2-Amino acids used to regulate cell growth and bio-synthesis of purine and pyrimidine ( this compounds have role in DNA synthesis)
Classification of amino acids:
-They are over 300 amino acids occur in nature but 20 amino acid occur only in protein ,they classified according to the synthesis by the body into:
1-Non essential amino acids : which the body can synthesized
Alanine, Proline, Asparagine, Aspartic acid , Cysteine, Tyrosine, Serine, Glycine, Glutamine and Glutamic acid
2-Essential amino acids : which the body cant synthesized it.
Isoleucine , leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Valine, Phenyl alanine, Threonine,Tryptophan, Histidne and Arginine.

Chemical classification of amino acids:
They are classified according to the side chain into:
1- Aliphatic side chain
Alanine, Glycine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Proline and Valine.
2-Aromatic ring
Phenyl alanine, Tryptophan and Tyrosine
3-Acidic side chain
Aspartic acid and Glutamic acid
4-Amidic ( contain amide group)
Asparagine and Glutamine.
5-Sulphur containing
Cysteine and Methionine
6-Hydroxylic
Serine, Threonine and Tyrosine
7-Basic
Arginine, Histidine and Lysine
Physical classification of amino acids:
1- Hydrophobic
Alanine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Phenyl alanine, Proline, Tryptophan, Tyrosine and Valine.
2-Hydrophilic
Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartic acid, Cysteine, Glutamic acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Lysine, Serine and Threonine.
Methods of separation of amino acids:
1-Paper chromatography
2-Thin layer chromatography
3-Ion exchange chromatography
4-High-voltage electrophoresis (HVE)

Thanks Rosie2010 for your comment , and yes i will publish soon other hubs about every amino acid and its role in our health , just wait!
Wow, never thought there are so many amino acids. It sure would be great to read more about them. Will be waiting for your other hubs. Thank you.
Thanks for the great info on amino acids, ImChemist
CMHypno , thanks for your comment
useful and nice information!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. GBY
ImChemist - Enjoyed this article. Thanks.
Gus :-)))
Good stuff. I knew about some amino acids, but didn't know all of this. Thanks for sharing.
Hi ImChemist thank you for tell us about amino acids in this well written hub, great information !
Awesome hub!!! Welcome to Hubpages!!!
Thanks all you friends for your comments and wait my 3rd hub , it will appear in the very soon.
ImChemist, great content welcome to HubPages. Bookmarked, vote up useful, and I am your newest follower.
Teddletonmr, thanks for bookmarking and following me
Your welcome looking for your next hub soon...
You are indeed a chemist. You've shared important information about amino acids. I agree with Rosie's comment that it would be better if you add its benefits, too. You started with a good hub. Just continue to share your ideas. Welcome to Hubpages!
Thanks Tina V for your comment , im working on my next hub just be patient , it will be about the benefits of Arginine
Great detail... thanks for sharing!
Very well done! Impressive!
Hi,
What a fascinating Hub!! I love all this kind of science to do with the body. I also have a much better understanding of the different amino acids. Great stuff!!
Seeker7 , thanks for your comment.
I absolutely love Chemistry! Please write more about it. Your hub is simple and clear. This is just like it should be. :-)
jantamaya, thanks for stopping at my hub , and i promise you i will publish later other hubs related to this hubs.
OH You are Good. If I ever get sick... GUESS WHO I AM CALLING???
Me? but how ! you don't have my number haha
My daughters and I love science it's great to have you here and read so many wonerful and interesting facts about amino acids. Welcome your a great contribution to our community! :) katie
I might learn this stuff yet : )
Yes you can learn more , just wait more hubs from me.
You are certainly adding to the scientific knowledge on Hubpages by publishing your hubs. You might even wish to tie these to sources of food and how we acquire these amino acids into our bodies. Just a thought!
Yes Peggy W I'm planning in the near future to publish hubs about each amino acid and its health benefits ,just be patient and you will see the information you need.
Any way thanks for your comment.
Wow,this is super! Keep writing...useful info in chewable portions is just what I need. Thank you!
JeanieR , thanks for your comment.
Its a very very informative stuff....keep it up...thnx a lot
wow, cool hub ;)
Bilal Adil, thanks for your stopping on my hub.

Hiya ImChemist, Welcome to Hubpages! You certainly know your amino acids. May I suggest that you give us the benefits of amino acids.. that would be very useful.
Have a nice day,
Rosie
