Quote (JonF @ Jan. 19 2015,08:16) | You need to supply some serious support for E.4. Particularly, two proteins with different amino acid chains are often equivalent in function. Nobody has any idea how many proteins there are that perform some specified function, but the evidence suggest there's loads of 'em. Plus there are proteins that perform multiple functions. |
The calculation has been done for Cytochrome C: Yockey (1992) calculated that there are 2.3 x 10^93 different amino acid sequences that could make a working Cytochrome C.
