A schematic shows the general structure of an amino acid (AA) with a central Cα (alpha carbon) bonded to an amino group (NH2, blue nitrogen), a carboxyl group (COOH, red oxygens), a hydrogen (H), and a variable R group (side chain). In biochemistry and molecular biology, this small organic molecule functions as the monomer that polymerizes via peptide bonds to form polypeptides and proteins, demonstrating the hierarchy of molecule within macromolecule. Standard atom color-coding depicts carbon (gray), hydrogen (light gray), nitrogen (blue), and oxygen (red).
