'''α-amino acids''' (α is the greek letter ''[[alpha]]'') have the general formula '''RCH(NH<sub>2</sub>)COOH'''. There are around 20 naturally occurring α-amino acids which [[polymer|polymerise]] by [[condensation polymerisation]] to form all known [[polypeptides]] (which form the primary structure of [[proteins]]) in biological organisms during [[gene translation]].
