science names... amino acids

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

inspired by this post. Amino acid names in biology.

Just a few.The gender in the bracket it what gender I think the name would go with.

*Alanine [f]
Arginine [unisex]
Cysteine [f] -- (this one reminds me too much of cystic fibrosis)
Glycine [f]
*Histidine [unisex]
*Leucine [f]
Lysine [f]
Proline [unisex]
Serine [f]
Threoline [unisex]
Tryptophan [m]
*Tyrosine [m]
*Valine [f]

* = most realistic/ favorite.

btw- the -ine ending in all of these is pronounced EEN.

wdyt? What genders do you associate with those names? Any more bio names?
