The short answer is that you can't. Individual amino acids may be identified by their pI, the point at which they have an overall neutral charge, but finding the pKa of a protein as a whole can't conclusively give you the amino acid sequence of the protein. You may get a sense of whether the protein is acidic or basic overall though.

There may be some way to do it if you have other factors involved in your experiment that you haven't divulged (i.e., a limited number of sequences that could be the answer or controls in the experiment), but the simple answer to your question is that it is impossible.

How does DNA sequence determine protein function?

DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.


Which tells you more about a protein its amino acid sequences or composition?

i'd go with the amino acid sequences... they are, after all, the second genetic code, meaning they are the blueprint for the function of the amino acid.

How can amino acid sequences be used to identify the source of a virus?

Amino acid sequences can identify the source of a virus by determining which class the virus belongs to. It can also tell the type of nucleic acid.
