Nice work John!
I agree with Koen on the following snippet:

If we really want to follow the guidelines, we would still have the 
accessor methods, but @private. Then you can do:
[self setSymbol: aChar]; in the init method (I don't see why it 
shouldn't work by the way).

Finally, two nitpicking remarks about the plist:
- you could take aMino for M and Keto for K (the official 
abbreviation), although it's a bit odd to see that some have names and 
others only a letter, but that's the way it is.
- single base should be Single base (capitalized) (esthetic reason only)
- Compelement should be spelled Complement ;-)

Nice work on the headerdoc as well!
Cheers,
Alex
