Standard Proteinogenic Amino Acids

  Proteinogenic Amino Acids (Standard Amino Acids), also known as canonical amino acids, are the amino acids naturally incorporated in proteins (polypeptides), require in our cellular machinery and coded for in the genetic code.
  In our body, twenty (of the twenty-two) standard proteinogenic amino acids are directly encoded by the universal genetic code. Each encoded amino acid in the DNA has a specific three letter base, or codon.
  

L-Alanine (Ala/A)	L-Arginine (Arg/R)	L-Asparagine (Asn/N)	L-Aspartic acid (Asp/D)
l-cysteine (Cys/C)	glutamic acid (Glu/E)	L-Glutamine (Gln/Q)	Glycine (Gly/G)
L-Histidine (His/H)	L-isoleucine (Ile/I)	L-Leucine (Leu/L)	Lysine (Lys/K)
L-Methionine (Met/M)	l-phenylalanine (Phe/F)	L-Proline (Pro/P)	L-Serine (Ser/S)
L-Threonine (Thr/T)	L-Tryptophan (Trp/W)	L-Tyrosine (Tyr/Y)	Valine (L-Valine)
Selenocysteine
