This video talks about the 20 proteogenic alpha-amino acids. It contains a brief intro to amino acids, explored what you need to know for the MCAT, methods used to classify amino acids, how amino acids are grouped into categories based on the nature of their R groups, acronyms and/or phrases to remember the amino acids for each category, ways to memorize the structure of amino acids and tips to remember the amino acids for your biochemistry exam.

This video focuses on:
1. Nonpolar aliphatic amino acids (this is also called non-polar non-aromatic amino acids)
2. Aromatic amino acids
3. Polar amino acids
4. Acidic/Negatively charged amino acids
5. Basic/Positively charged amino acids
