Abstract
Abstract Formal concept analysis (FCA) is a method based on lattice theory, widely used for data visualization, data analysis and knowledge discovery. Amino acids (AAs) are chemical molecules that constitute the proteins. In this paper is presented a new and easy way of visualizing of the structure and properties of AAs. In addition, we performed a new Hydrophobic-Polar classification of AAs using FCA. For this, the 20 proteinogenic AAs were clustered, classified by hydrophobicity and visualized in Hasse-diagrams. Exploring and processing the dataset was done with Elba and ToscanaJ, some FCA tools and Conceptual Information System (CIS).
