Phenylalanine, which abbreviates to the 3-letter Phe or the single letter F, is one of the 20 amino acids used to build proteins in our body. Phenylalanine’s R-group is a benzyl group: that is, an aromatic benzene ring connected by a single bridging carbon. Because of this nonpolar R-group, phenylalanine is also a non-polar, hydrophobic amino acid, with a neutral charge at physiological pH.
