Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are classified based on their structure, properties, and functions. One classification is based on polarity, dividing them into polar, nonpolar, acidic, and basic amino acids. Another is based on essentiality, categorizing them as essential (cannot be synthesized by the body, e.g., lysine) and non-essential (synthesized by the body, e.g., alanine).

Amino acids are also grouped by their R-groups: aliphatic (e.g., glycine), aromatic (e.g., phenylalanine), and sulfur-containing (e.g., cysteine). Additionally, some are classified as glucogenic, ketogenic, or both, based on their metabolic fate. This classification aids in understanding their diverse biological roles.
