MedLab TalksScientists Say: Amino AcidBY: 'ALYA SYUHADA BINTI SAFAWI ( 2018660622), MLT PROGRAM[Ep2] Scientists Say: Amino AcidThese tiny molecules wear many useful hatsAmino Acid (noun, “Ah-MEEN-oh AH-sid”)This is a type of molecule found in living cells. Amino acids by themselves can serve as chemical messengers. When they link up into chains, amino acids form proteins, the engines that help our cells function.Each amino acid is made of three parts. One is an amine, which is a nitrogen atom bound to two hydrogens. Another is a carboxyl group. This is a carb...2021-08-2200 min
