Abbreviating Amino Acids | Science is NEAT

Thanks for watching! This video was inspired by my biochem professor poking fun at how the amino acids were abbreviated. I hope you enjoy my (hopefully funny) take on how these molecules went from full names to three letters to just one letter! As always, let me know what else you’d like to see. Stick around for more!
