Question

Assume you were given a mixture consisting of one molecule each of all possible sequences of a smallish protein of molecular weight 4800 daltons. If the average molecular weight of an amino acid is, say, 120 daltons, how much would the sample weigh? How big a container would you need to hold it? What does this calculation tell you about the fraction of possible proteins that are currently in use by living organisms (the average molecular weight of proteins is about 30,000 daltons)?
