+Amino Acid Structures and Functional Groups
+
+Builds all 20 standard amino acids with correct 3D geometry using the
+Molecule class from molecular_conformations.  Provides:
+
+    - Functional group builder functions (hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, etc.)
+    - Planar ring builders (phenyl, imidazole, indole)
+    - Amino acid backbone template with L-chirality enforcement
+    - Side chain builders for all 20 standard amino acids
+    - Peptide bond formation (condensation reaction)
+    - Backbone conformation control (phi/psi angles)
+    - Secondary structure presets (alpha helix, beta sheet)
+
+All coordinates are in Angstroms.  No Unicode characters are used
+(Windows cp1252 compatibility).
