Let's talk something more about Amino Acids
There are about 20 Essential Amino Acids in our body.
Two ways to represent an Amino Acid species:
The 3-letter code and the single-letter name.
Here is a table for all the essential aminoacids, along with their names and chemial compositions.
Anybody who can tell their names in Chinese?

Its important to be familiar with these names and chemical compositions for a good biologist. Most of you guys have met these 3-letter codes in our Chinese textbook, don't you?
But now, can you tell some of their proper English names where those 3-letters came from?
