_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Each object of class "NucleotideAlphabet" represents an amino acid
     alphabet. This usually also contains the gap character represented
     by '-'.

_S_l_o_t_s:

     '_l_e_t_t_e_r_s': Object of class '"character"' representing the letters
          of the alphabet. Usually Roman upper case letters are used.
          The one exception is the gap character which is always '-'

     '_m_a_p_p_i_n_g': Object of class '"integer"' representing the encoding
          used to represent these objects internally. 

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"BioAlphabet"', directly.

          class "AminoAcidAlphabet" return a new uninitialized
          BioString object for that alphabet with length
          'length.string'. See 'BioString-class' for more details.
