Why is there infinite variety possible in proteins?
Different 3D shapes, different number of proteins, different types of amino acids, and different sequences.
How many amino acids are in DNA and Proteins?
DNA contains no amino acids, it contains nucleic acids. Proteins can contain from 2 amino acids to tens of thousands.
Consequences of proteins containing different numbers and different types of amino acids?
As proteins contain different numbers and types of amino acids they are different shapes and have different affinities for water and lipids.
Proteins are made from small units called?
Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids which are strung together to form proteins which can be of different sizes and shapes.
What is the minimum number of amino acids in protein?
there is only 20 amin acid in our bodies but we only use 11 of them
Organisms contain thousands of different proteins composed of how many different amino acids?
20

Instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins?
Proteins are made from amino acids, there are different types of proteins in our body ane the order of the amino acids determines the type of amino acid cus it sure helped me :)
What are the monomers in proteins?
amino acid
Why do different proteins have the same relative molecular mass?
Proteins can have the same number of amino acids (and therefore same mass) yet be different proteins due to the different order of amino acids.
If you have 4 amino acids how many different proteins can you make?
it depends on the content of proteins present in the ammino acids!
What numbers of protein that your genes produce?
Well I think this question may be misphrased. Proteins are mad eup of chians of amino acids. Amino acids are encoded/ made up of nucleotides that are encoded by genes. There are 20 different amino acids in the human body that combine to form hundreds of thousands of proteins. It is not possible to know how many proteins genes produce because not all genes have even been decoded yet. Furthermore, even if all of the genes in the human body had been identified, these genes would encode different sequences of nucleotides, that would then encode for different amino acids, that could then combine to form nearly endless types of proteins.

As proteins contain different numbers and types of amino acids they are different shapes and have different affinities for water and lipids.
How are proteins distinguished from one another?
Different types of proteins are formed by the bonding of different types of amino acids. There are typically four types of amino acids that make up a protein.
What is the number of different proteins that can be constructed from amino acids?
Theyre are two different proteins, anemic, and fesenic.
How many monomers of proteins exist?
20
