aminolookup displays a table of amino acid codes, integers, abbreviations, names, and codons.
aminolookup(SeqAA) converts between amino acid three-letter abbreviations and one-letter codes. If the input is a character string of three-letter abbreviations, then the output is a character string with the corresponding one-letter codes. If the input is a character string of single-letter codes, then the output is a character string of three-letter codes.
If you enter one of the ambiguous characters B, Z, X, this function displays the abbreviation for the ambiguous amino acid character.
aminolookup('abc')
ans=AlaAsxCys
aminolookup('Code', CodeValue) displays the corresponding amino acid three-letter abbreviation and name.
aminolookup('Integer', IntegerValue) displays the corresponding amino acid single-letter code and name.
aminolookup('Abbreviation', AbbreviationValue) displays the corresponding amino acid single-letter code and name.
aminolookup('Name', NameValue) displays the corresponding single-letter amino acid code and three-letter abbreviation.
Display the single-letter code and three-letter abbreviation for proline.
aminolookup('Name','proline')
ans =
P Pro
Convert a single-letter amino acid sequence to a three-letter sequence.
aminolookup('MWKQAEDIRDIYDF')

Convert a three-letter amino acid sequence to a single-letter sequence.
aminolookup('MetTrpLysGlnAlaGluAspIleArgAspIleTyrAspPhe')
ans =
MWKQAEDIRDIYDF
Display the single-letter code, three-letter abbreviation, and name for an integer.
