Amino Acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that are the building blocks of proteins. In most animal metabolisms, a number of amino acids play an essential role. The genetic code, which determines the assembly of amino acids into body proteins, is mediated by the nucleic acids.n addition to the 20 common amino acids, others occur in proteins. Analysis of many proteins from plant and animal sources has shown that all are made up of about 25 to 30 amino acids.
