Amino acids are the stuff of life, as they are the building blocks for the proteins in all living creatures. Proteins provide structure, regulate body processes, transport materials and do a host of other things without which life would be impossible. All this thanks to the 23 amino acids that life on earth makes use of. In all of the amino acid images a mixture of two to three amino acids were crystallized. A magnification of 3 to 5x was used.
