The Mnemosyne Project

There are 20 standard amino acids, and it's worthwhile for biochemistry students and protein researchers to memorize some raw facts about them. This deck contains three sub-categories: Notation, Groups and Properties.

Notation is written in the 3-card style normally used for language decks, with the vice-versa copying already applied. This means:

• 20 cards show the full amino acid name as the question, with 3-letter and 1-letter codes as the answer for each.
• Another 20 cards show just the 1-letter code as the question, with the full name and 3-letter code as the answer.

Groups mean Aliphatic, Aromatic, etc. There is some vice-versa work here, too:

• Each group name is a question, and the answer is the list of amino acids in that group.
• Each list of amino acids is given as a question, and the answer is the group they belong to.
• Each amino acid is named individually as a question, and the answer is the group that amino acid belongs to.

Side-chain Properties covered here are polarity and acidity, with the same layout as in Groups.
