Description

Return names or one- or three-letter abbreviations of amino acids.

Usage

aminoacids(nchar = 1, which = NULL)

Arguments

nchar

numeric, \(1\) to return one-letter, \(3\) to return three-letter abbreviations for amino acids

which

character, which amino acids to name

Details

aminoacids returns the one-letter abbreviations (nchar=1) or the three-letter abbreviations (nchar=3) or the names of the neutral amino acids (nchar="") or the names of the amino acids with ionized side chains (nchar="Z"). The output includes 20 amino acids in alphabetic order by 1-letter abbreviation (the order used in thermo()$protein), unless which is provided, indicating the desired amino acids (either as 1- or 3-letter abbreviations or names of the neutral amino acids).
