Histidine  - C₆H₉N₃O₂
Important for the growth and repair of tissues.

Leucine  - C₄H₉CH(NH₂)COOH
Derived from the hydrolysis of protein by pancreatic enzymes during digestion and necessary for optimal growth in infants and children and for the maintenance of nitrogen balance in adults.

Lysine  - C₆H₁₄N₂O₂
Derived from the hydrolysis of proteins and required by the body for optimum growth.

Methionine  - C₅H₁₁NO₂S
Obtained from various proteins or prepared synthetically and used as a dietary supplement and in pharmaceuticals.

Phenylalanine  - C₆H₅CH₂CH(NH₂)COOH
That occurs as a constituent of many proteins and is normally converted to tyrosine in the human body. It is necessary for growth in infants and for nitrogen equilibrium in adults.

Threonine  - C₄H₉NO₃
That is derived from the hydrolysis of protein and is an essential component of human nutrition.

Tryptophan  - C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₂
Formed from proteins during the digestive process by the action of proteolytic enzymes.

Valine  - C₅H₁₁NO₂

Arginine  - C₆H₁₄N₄O₂
Obtained from the hydrolysis or digestion of plant and animal protein.

Proline  - C₄H₈NCOOH
That is found in most proteins and is a major constituent of collagen(The fibrous protein constituent of bone, cartilage, tendon, and other connective tissue. It is converted into gelatin by boiling.)

Taurine  - C₂H₇NO₃S
Formed by the hydrolysis of taurocholic acid and found in the fluids of the muscles and lungs of many animals.

Tyrosine  - C₉H₁₁NO₃
That is derived from the hydrolysis(Decomposition of a chemical compound by reaction with water, such as the dissociation of a dissolved salt or the catalytic conversion of starch to glucose.) of proteins such as casein(A white, tasteless, odorless protein precipitated from milk by rennin.) and is a precursor of epinephrine(A hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla that is released into the bloodstream in response to physical or mental stress, as from fear or injury. It initiates many bodily responses, including the stimulation of heart action and an increase in blood pressure, metabolic rate, and blood glucose concentration. Also called adrenaline), thyroxine(An iodine-containing hormone, that increases the rate of cell metabolism and regulates growth and that is made synthetically for treatment of thyroid disorders.), and melanin(Any of a group of naturally occurring dark pigments, especially the pigment found in skin, hair, fur, and feathers.).
