   Proteins and Amino Acids
   Proteins are vital for enzymatic function, structural integrity (e.g., keratin, collagen), and signaling. They are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Twenty standard $\alpha$-amino acids are recognized in canonical biochemistry. The [essential amino acids](/entries/essential-amino-acids/…
