well we do end up learning a lot abt them. my suggestion is, learn them as groups basic, acidic , neither then essential vs nonessential stuff like which one has a phenol ring or max buffering capacity is supposed to be imp try making generalisations as u stury eg basic AA are essential, acidic arent. later u'll be required to know which are the inp intermediates...eg if they point towards the intermediate of the Kreb's cycle used in fatty acid metabolism etc...
