Methionine is an alpha amino acid also known as Met or M. It is classified as a non-polar amino acid. Methionine is an 'essential amino acid' as it is not produced naturally in humans, and therefore must be ingested. The triplet code for methionine is AUG, which is always the first codon to be translated in an open reading frame.
