Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids. The simplest protein of life, ribonuclease, contains 124 amino acids.
As there are 20 amino acids used in proteins, each amino acid would have to be encoded by a minimum of three nucleotides. For example, a code of two co â¦ nsecutive nucleotides could specify a maximum of 16 (42) different amino acids, excluding stop and start signals.
