All 20 (Natural) Amino Acid Knitting Charts

I used my cabin fever to whip up knitting charts for all 20 natural amino acids. Enjoy!

Feel free to use these charts for your personal use, but they are not to be sold or reproduced on another web page. If you modify these charts, please still credit this page.

Haha!
Thanks for these! I have a bunch of bio/chem people to make stuff for that this is perfect. These, and the other entry of molecules I'm about to go save. :)

Do you knit entire proteins? How much time would that take?

An entire protein would require a fairly large project. Many proteins that I deal with in lab have over 300 amino acids.

I made a peptide beer cozy, but that only had 5 amino acids. www.chemknits.blogspot.com/2009/04/peptide-beer-cozy.html

Protein structures are pretty, but it would be fairly compelx to knit one as a 3-D cartoon model, and even harder to do justice flat as a chart.
