The chemical reactions and pathways involving amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. The process of conversion of a L-amino acid into its enantiomer, the corresponding D-amino acid. The formation of a mixture of the two possible enantiomers from the D- or L-enantiomer of a chiral amino acid. The chemical reactions and pathways involving any organic compound that is weakly basic in character and contains an amino or a substituted amino group, as carried out by individual cells. Amines are called primary, secondary, or tertiary according to whether one, two, or three carbon atoms are attached to the nitrogen atom. The chemical reactions and pathways involving carboxylic acids, any organic acid containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). The chemical reactions and pathways involving amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, and compounds derived from amino acids, as carried out by individual cells.
