The standard amino acids are 20, but there are numerous AA that cannot be coded by DNA eg hydroproline.

We have over 500 amino acids but 20 are the primary amino acids coded on the DNA.

There are 20 primary amino acids, those that can be coded in DNA but we have, more than 300 amino acids known.

There much more amino acids than 20.

20 is the number of amino acids that can be incorporated into protein structure.
