Describe the structure of proteins and explain why adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids are required for protein synthesis.



Structure: Amino acids (an amine group, acid group, and side chain all attached by a carbon backbone) are attached to each other by peptide bonds, forming a long chain that folds on itself. The body produces some amino acids to form this chain, but we must ingest others (the essentials) to have all the right ingredients for a complete protein.
