These compounds can be formed in the Strecker Synthesis from ketones or aldehydes, and a Ramachandran plot can visualize dihedral angles that are formed between these compounds. These compounds act as both an acid and a base, since they are examples of zwitterions. The simplest one of these compounds is glycine, and around twenty different forms of these compounds can be found in the human body, nine of which are considered as essential. Examples of these compounds include cysteine and histidine. For 10 points, name these compounds which are linked together by peptide bonds to form proteins.
