Amino acids: types, structure and function

The video tutorial compares cake ingredients to protein structure, explaining how specific ingredients define a cake, similar to how amino acids define proteins. It covers the types of amino acids, their role as protein building blocks, and how they form polypeptide chains. The structure of amino acids, including the R group, is discussed, along with their behavioral categories: acidic, basic, polar, and nonpolar. The video concludes with how amino acids link via peptide bonds to form proteins.
