Amino acids are relatively simple molecules with a molecular weight of about 100. All body proteins are produced from amino acids. Amino acids play a role in energy production, as the carbon backbone can also be shunted into the Tri-Carboxylic Acid (TCA), or Krebs cycle. Structural proteins, such as collagen, cartilage and elastin are rich in amino acids. Amino acids are also modified to produce hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and other substances.*
