Amino Acid Arginine Flag: R Flag or Arg Flag

The flag for Arginine uses the colours red, black, blue and white.  The horizontal stripes along the hoist code to the number 18.  Reason being red is coded to 1 and black is coded to 8 in colour metrics.  The field is blue, so this indicates that Nitrogen is in the R-Group.  Amino Acid R has three Nitrogens in its R-Group.  The four dots also indicate that there are four Carbons on the R-Group.  The position of the dots also indicate that there three of the Carbons are connected while one is on its own.

A team by the name of Ernst & Ernst discovered amino acid R in 1886.  It was discovered in yellow lupin seedlings in Germany.  Since this amino acid had a silvery colour when studied by team Ernst they get it a silver prefix name.  Thus the fun nick names for this amino acid would be:
