Serine (abbreviated as Ser or S) encoded by the codons UCU UCC UCA UCG AGU and AGC is an -amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an -amino group (which is in the protonated NH 3 form under biological conditions) a carboxyl group (which is in the deprotonated COO form in physiological conditions) and a side chain consisting of a hydroxymethyl group (see hydroxyl) classifying it as a polar amino acid. It can be synthesized in the human body under normal physiological circumstances making it a nonessential amino acid.
