Amino Acid
Building block of peptides and proteins
Amino acids are the small molecules that link together in chains to form peptides and proteins. The human body uses about twenty standard amino acids. The exact sequence and number of amino acids in a chain determine the shape and job of the finished peptide or protein.

- RecoveryARA-290 (Cibinetide)Investigational 11-amino-acid peptide derived from the helix-B region of erythropoietin that activates the innate repair receptor without stimulating red-blood-cell production; studied for small-fiber neuropathy.
- OtherVIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)A 28-amino-acid signaling peptide with anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory actions; its synthetic form (aviptadil) has been trialed for respiratory failure, and an intranasal form is used off-label in the chronic-inflammatory-response (mold/CIRS) community.
