Classification of amino acids by position of amino group:

Amino acids are classified based on the position of the –NH₂ group relative to the –COOH group:

- -amino acids: –NH₂ on the carbon adjacent to –COOH (C2)
- -amino acids: –NH₂ on C3
- -amino acids: –NH₂ on C4
- -amino acids: –NH₂ on C5

All 20 naturally occurring amino acids that make up proteins are -amino acids — the amino group is on the -carbon (the carbon directly bonded to the carboxyl group).
