Amino acids are a class of organic compounds named after the nitrogenous amino group (-NH2) and the carboxylic acid (-COOH) group which they all contain. Amino acids are chemically the most basic building blocks of living organisms. The proper sequencing of amino acids into proteins and eventually cells is encoded in DNA.
The Klingon J'Dan found a way to encode digital information in amino-acid sequences and inject himself and others with the data, thereby being able to deliver tactical information to the Romulans. (TNG: "The Drumhead")
Captain Picard's Aunt Adele's recipe for a warm milk toddy was working perfectly as a natural sedative, as the heat activated amino acids in the lactose and it also tasted delicious. (TNG: "Schisms")
