I keep forgetting amino acid abbreviations and their classes because I never bothered learning them. To see if I can teach an old dog (me) new tricks, I wrote this simple Python script that asks questions about amino acids. I’ll keep doing the quiz until I can finally remember.

This practice of generating visually nice output (and/or) Excel files may be rooted in how bioinformaticians and biologists used to work with each other; give the bioinformatician/s some data to analyse and they will generate output that will be manually…
