i think

OpenStudy (koikkara):

\(\color{red}{~''How~160~?~"}\) Each protein, is made up of many of the 20 different amino acids. Similar to the letters in the alphabet, the order of the amino acids in a protein play an important role in how the final structure will function. Proteins can be hundreds of amino acids long, so the possibilities are nearly endless as we will examine within. \(Hope~it~makes~sense~!!\) Each protein (1 protein) \(\to\) 20 different amino acids. So, for \(??\) \(\to\) 8 amino acids \(=\) \(What~??\) @Somy \(Awesome~!!~ You~Are~Genius !!\) \(\color{blue}{~''Nice~To~Meet~You~!!"}\) @xkat
