This function retrieves the amino acid compositions of one or more proteins specified by uniprot.
This function depends on the amino acid compositions of human proteins, which are stored in the human environment when the package is attached.
If aa_file is specified, additional amino acid compositions to be considered are read from this file, which should be in the same format as e.g. human_extra.csv (see also thermo$protein).
Alternatively, the amino acid compositions can be given in aa, bypassing the search step.
