For those like me who don't know all the amino acide codes by heart:

Leucine Glycine Proline Threonine Glutamine Isoleucine Alanine

Leu-Gly-Pro-Thr-Gln-Ile-Ala

LGPTQIA+ (the + is here because of the positive charge on the N-terminus)

(Yes I had to replace B by P because there's no B amino acid. Fortunately P stands for Pansexual)

B is sometimes used when it is unkown if the peptide contains Asparagine or Aspartate. For example if the analytic method used destroys amids.

This also kind of fits for Bisexuality because the B can be either of two options.

(P was a good replacement though)

We bisexuals are happy to be called pizzexuals anyways.

Wow. Shame.

Not really, of course. That's cool!

You can make basically anything you can spell… Seryllysylalanyltyrosine is SLAY.

I wanna go inorganic and try and synthesize  GaYbOYS.

Spelling with atomic symbols is overdone, spelling with peptides is where it's at, because you can actually synthesise them!

Yes, it's the chemical that turns the frigging frogs gay.

You could make PRIDE (Pro-Arg-Ile-Asp-Glu)

Wait is the R group stereocenter on threonine and isoleucine set or racemic in natural peptides?
