Proteinogenic amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in organisms, used by cells to synthesize proteins according to genetic instructions. There are 20 standard proteinogenic amino acids considered essential for life, as they are encoded directly by the universal genetic code. These include both non-essential amino acids, which can be synthesized by the human body, and essential amino acids, which must be obtained through the diet. The 20 standard amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. Each plays a unique role in metabolic processes and protein synthesis, underscoring the importance of a balanced diet for maintaining health and supporting the body's various functions.
