amino acid alignments

Andrew, 

    Hi.  The Registry file produced by the database I work at, Chemical Abstracts Service, allows you to do family searches for various types (basic, aromatic, etc.) of hydrophobic/hydrophilic amino acids.  You can search our database of 331,000 polypeptide sequences (all the sequences in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ plus many patent, modified, synthetic, obscure journal sequences not found in other databases).  We're not a "free" database, but the science librarian at your university should know if you already have 
an STN/CAS account at your school.  Well, I hope this helps.  Good luck!
