Proteins that differ inthe order or type of amino acids they contain may have very different structuresand functions. In fact, a change in even a single amino acid can sometimes affectthe way a protein works.To see how many unique proteins, each composed of just two amino acids,can be formed from five different amino acids, fill in the spaces in the tablebelow. Some of the spaces have been filled in to show you how. Assume that eachletter represents a different amino acid.Amino AcidsABDEAAAАВACBACEAnswer the following questions in the spaces provided.1.
