AAProp Project

Introduction

Amino Acids. They are very important things, evidently. However, they tend to have a lot of information associated with them. This project, aaprop, is designed to provide a RESTful API for accessing information about amino acids. All 20 of them.

Using this, one can have a easy-to-use interface that can provide the following information:

• The name of the amino acid
• The three-letter code of the amino acid
• The one-letter code of the amino acid
• The molecular weight of the amino acid
• The side chain type of the amino acid (polar, non-polar, acidic, basic)
• The DNA codons that code for that amino acid.
