Amino acidIn chemistry, an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. In biochemistry, this shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids: those amino acids in which the amino and carb	AminoIn chemistry, especially in organic chemistry and biochemistry, an amino group is an ammonia-like functional group.

Common examples of amino sugars are Galactosamine Glucosamine Sialic acid.
AminoacylationAminoacylation is the process of adding an aminoacyl group to a compound. See also Acylation.	Aminoacyl tRNA synthetaseAn aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (abbreviated aaRs is an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of a specific amino acid to a tRNA to form an aminoacyl-tRNA. The synthetase hydrolyzes ATP to bind the appropriate amino acid to the 3' hydroxyl of the tRNA molecule.
