=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::ProteinogenicAA - A object list of proteinogenic amino acids.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Quick summary of what the module does.

    use Bio::Tools::ProteinogenicAA;

    my $p = Bio::Tools::ProteinogenicAA->new();
    
    #recover the amino acids list from the object
    my @aas = @{$p->aminoacids};

    say $aas[0]->short_name
    ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple module that organizes in a single object a list of proteinogenic amino acids and some of its characteristics. Most of the stored information are important for mass spectrometry based proteomics.

This is an example of how the object is organizied:

    internals: {
        abbreviation           "Ala",
        amino_acid             "Alanine",
        avg_mass               71.0788,
        codons                 "GCU GCC GCA GCG",
        formula                "C3H5NO",
        is_hydrophobic         1,
        is_polar               0,
        monoisotopic_mass      71.03711,
        pH                     "-",
        pI                     6.01,
        pK1                    2.35,
        pK2                    9.87,
        short_name             "A",
        side_chain             "-CH3",
        van_der_waals_volume   67
    }
