What version of BioJava are you using? Certainly, the current
CVS version has a method ProteinTools.createProtein(String), which
seems to do what you want.
However, it would seem cleaner to remove references to particular
alphabets from your code completely. You can do something like:
Alphabet alpha = DNATools.getDNA();
SymbolParser parser = alpha.getParser("token");
SymbolList sl = parser.parse(someString);
This is effectively what's happening inside DNATools.createDNA,
and means you can just parameterize your code with a particular
Alphabet object.
Hope this helps,
Thomas.
