- are linked together by peptide bond or amide bond to form polypeptides which eventually become protein when properly folded and completely functional
- generally composed of α-amino group, α-carboxylic group and side chain group wherein the side chain (R) indicates if the amino acid is an alkyl-, sulfur-containing, aromatic, amides, acid or base
