The average protein contains 400 amino acids what is the maximum number of proteins that can be encoded by human genome?

Answer 1

2.5 * 10^6. this is so coz 400 amino acids will be composed of 400 * 3 bases. hence divide 3*10^9 by 1200, this gives the above answer.

Answer 2

The human genome contains approximately 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. Each gene can potentially encode multiple proteins through alternative splicing and post-translational modifications, so the exact number of distinct proteins that can be produced is much higher than the number of genes.
