Summary Introduction

To explain: The statement that “ to produce one molecule of  each possible kind of polypeptide chain, 300 amino acids in length, would require more atoms than exist in the universe”.

Introduction: Protein is a biomolecule. It consists of a chain of amino acids called polypeptide. There are 20 different amino acids in proteins which are coded by organisms’ DNA. Protein forms primary, secondary, tertiary structure, and quaternary structures.  Intrinsically the disordered protein is abundant in nature. They have important functions in the interior of cells.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The mass of all 20300 amino acids would be greater than the mass of the universe.
