Amino acid pneumonic
As a medical student you probably had a difficult time trying to memorize the first twenty amino acids, well you aren't alone in this.
Devising a pneumonic to aid in memorizing the first twenty amino acids in sequential order of ascending molecular weight may be quite challenging at times. Unlike the elementary chemistry first twenty elements,textbooks don't help matters in developing one either.
I recently devised short codes that actually turned out to be very helpful, as I achieved the feat of memorizing it in just 15 minutes that sound amazing right? Well who knows if you could do so in a matter of seconds, check it out;
