An acid that contains molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, sequences of amino acids in protein are encoded in DNA, making these the structural building blocks of carbon-based lifeforms. The first long-chain amino acid molecules on Earth formed billions of years ago as part of the planet's evolutionary process. According to Q, pre-historic France was the site of this occurrence. (TNG episode & novelization: All Good Things...) Basic amino acids were part of the many foodstuffs available in the Federation in the 23rd century. Mars Foods Incorporated advertised themselves as a supplier of amino acids in Spacelanes, a periodical publication in the late 23rd century. (FASA RPG module: Spacelanes: The Magazine of Interstellar Trade) In 2269, Spock One used the equipment and chemicals in the USS Enterprise's medical lab to synthesize the reversed amino acids his mirror anatomy required. (TOS novel: Spock Must Die!) Captain Jean-Luc Picard had a recipe for a warm milk toddy that was passed on by his Aunt Adele. While Picard valued the flavor and nostalgia of the family recipe, Doctor Beverly Crusher reminded him that the natural sedative effect was a simple reaction of heat-activated amino acids and lactose. (TNG episode: \"Schisms\") At some point prior to the year 2367, the Klingon scientist J'Dan began using a method of encoding computer information in amino acid sequences. J'Dan injected himself and others with the amino acid data, and used the process to send sensitive information to the Romulan Star Empire. (TNG episode: \"The Drumhead\") In the 2370s decade, Julian Bashir was involved in scientific research to support a theory that quantum resonance played a factor in the replication of prions, while conventional wisdom held that prion replication was purely a function of disulfide shuffling and amino acid re-sequencing. (DS9 episode: \"Nor the Battle to the Strong\") In the year 2373 on the Nechani homeworld, Kathryn Janeway was bitten by a nesset. The breakdown of the nesset toxin caused an amino acid to form in her body, blocking neurotransmitters and causing hallucinations. (VOY episode: \"Sacred Ground\") In an alternate timeline 2374, Neelix created an energy drink called \"elixir of endurance\", supposedly formulated with a variety of beneficial amino acids.

"An Amino Acid is any organic molecule made up of an amine group (2 molecules of hydrogen and one of nitrogen and a carbolic acid functional group (two atoms of oxygen with one each of carbon and hydrogen). There are about 500 such molecules. Of these, 22 are used by life forms on Earth, including humans, as the constiutent building blocks of proteins. Amino acids also play other important roles in metabolism, acting as transmitters that allow cellular communication."@en . . . "Amino Acids are the basic structural building units of proteins. They form short polymer chains called peptides or longer chains called either polypeptides or proteins. An amino acid is a molecule that contains both amino (NH2) and carboxyl (COOH) functional groups. There are 20 standard amino acids, 8 of which are essential, meaning the body cannot synthesize them from other compounds at the level needed for normal growth, so they must be obtained from food. Nonessential amino acids are made by the body from the essential amino acids or normal breakdown of proteins. The amino acids cysteine, tyrosine, histidine and arginine are semiessential amino acids in children, because the metabolic pathways that synthesize these amino acids are not fully developed yet."@en . . .

In the cell, DNA in the nucleus creates strands of RNA that code for protein. Each group of three base pairs on an RNA strand binds to a particular amino acid. In the ribosomes of the cell, the RNA is matched up with the amino acids, then are joined together to make the proteins. Amino acids also play other important roles in metabolism, acting as transmitters that allow cellular communication. Of the 22 amino acids needed for human life, most can be produced through other processes in the body. However, a large group must be obtained through the diet. Animal meat contains all the necessary amino acids. All amino acids can be obtained from plant sources, but this requires a fairly varied diet as no one plant source contains all the necessary amino acids. For example, rice and legumes both are lacking necessary amino acids, but together they can provide all the necessary ones."@en . . . .

(TNG: \"The Drumhead\" ) Captain Picard's Aunt Adele's recipe for a warm milk toddy worked perfectly as a natural sedative, as the heat activated amino acids in the lactose, and it also tasted delicious. (TNG: \"Schisms\" ) When Chakotay noted that a nearby class M planet had high amino acid and protein readings, Captain Kathryn Janeway inferred that it must have a healthy plant life. Instead, they were residues left behind from trigemic vapor on the planet.
