Amino Acid Tyrosine Flag: Y Flag or Tyr

The Tyrosine flag uses the colours orange, light blue, pink, and black.  The orange and cyan stripe along the hoist refer to the number 25.  Reason being orange is coded to 2 and cyan is coded to 5 in colour metrics.  Together these numbers represent the 25th letter of the alphabet, which is also the one letter abbreviation for Tyrosine.

The pink square field indicates that Tyrosine has an alcohol component in its R-Group.  Since oxygen is usually red and hydrogen is white in most models, when you combine those colours they make pink.  The seven black dots indicate that amino acid Y has seven carbons in its R-Group.  And since there are four black dots in the corners of the pink square this indicates that Amino Acid Y has a ring structure.  In fact it is aromatic.

Tyr is the three letter abbreviation.  And Tyr was discovered in 1846 by German chemist Justus von Liebig in cheese.  Although is has an alcohol as a component, you will not get drunk from consuming this amino acid.

Tyrosine gets its name from cheese, since tyri is Greek for cheese.  Thus nick names for this cheese could be: Cheesine, Kraftosine, Velveetisine, Cheddarsine, Quesosine, Formagiosine, Cheezusine, Kasesine (German), Syrsine (Russian), Jabanisine (Arabic), Pomaisine (Vietnamese), Ostsine (Swedish), Sajtosine (Hungarian), Juustosine (Finnish), and Jabinisine (Swahili).
