Chemistry
Amino acids are usually colourless, crystalline solids These are
water-soluble, high melting solids and behave like salts rather than
simple amines or carboxylic acids This behaviour is due to the presence
of both acidic (carboxyl group) and basic (amino
group) groups in the same molecule
