Question:

What is the structure of the amino acid, alanine?

Answer:

Alanine is a simple amino acid with formula CH3-CH(NH2)-COOH.

NH2 group: Amino group.
COOH group: Carboxyl group.
CH3 group: Side chain (R group).

Alanine is nonpolar, part of many proteins, and helps in energy metabolism and muscle function. Drawing it helps understand how amino acids link to form proteins.
