Background
All natural amino acids have one letter codes and three letter codes. The three letter ones are often preferred by scientists because they are more descriptive (tryptophan can be represented with W and with Trp).
In the scope of this ticket, returning the natural monomers when searching the library with their three-letter codes should be implemented.
