+### Working with Amino Acid Sequences
+
+The `Py_AASequence` wrapper provides a Pythonic interface to amino acid sequences with support for common operations like sequence reversal and shuffling for decoy generation. All operations delegate to pyOpenMS functionality to minimize reimplementation.
+
+```python
+from openms_python import Py_AASequence
+
+# Create a sequence from string
+seq = Py_AASequence.from_string("PEPTIDERK")
+
+# Access properties
+print(f"Sequence: {seq.sequence}")              # PEPTIDERK
+print(f"Length: {len(seq)}")                    # 9
+print(f"Mono weight: {seq.mono_weight:.2f} Da") # 1083.56 Da
+print(f"Formula: {seq.formula}")                # C46H77N13O17
+
+# Iterate over amino acids
+for aa in seq:
+    print(aa)  # P, E, P, T, I, D, E, R, K
+
+# Generate decoy sequences
+reversed_seq = seq.reverse()
+print(reversed_seq.sequence)  # KREDITPEP
+
+# Reverse with enzyme constraint (preserves cleavage sites)
+reversed_enzyme = seq.reverse_with_enzyme("Trypsin")
+print(reversed_enzyme.sequence)  # EDITPEPRK
+
+# Shuffle with reproducible seed
+shuffled = seq.shuffle(enzyme="Trypsin", seed=42)
+print(shuffled.sequence)  # IPEDTEPRK (same with seed=42)
+
+# Calculate m/z for different charge states
+mz1 = seq.get_mz(1)  # 1084.56
+mz2 = seq.get_mz(2)  # 542.79
+mz3 = seq.get_mz(3)  # 362.19
+
+# Query sequence content
+has_tide = seq.has_substring("TIDE")  # True
+starts_pep = seq.has_prefix("PEP")    # True
+ends_rk = seq.has_suffix("RK")        # True
+
+# Access individual residues
+first_aa = seq[0]  # "P"
+
+# Work with modified sequences
+mod_seq = Py_AASequence.from_string("PEPTIDEM(Oxidation)K")
+print(f"Is modified: {mod_seq.is_modified}")           # True
+print(f"Unmodified: {mod_seq.unmodified_sequence}")    # PEPTIDEMK
