nucleic acid? You gave me ignorant answers in the previous question because you lack enough knowledge of chemistry
DNA is a polymer made of four building blocks: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine
Those four building blocks are maintained into a polymer with the help of a sugar called desoxiribose and with the help of phosphoric acid
Proteins, on the other hand, are random combination of aminoacids.
For example the protein called gelatin that you buy from shops is made of a chain of 18 different aminoacids
Naturally, aminoacids are only found as building blocks of proteins and adenine, guanine, thymine cytosine are only found in DNA
But, in a laboratory, synthesizing a version of DNA that contains any four aminoacids instead of that four chemicals that currently form DNA is THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE
My question is:
Do aminoacids possess the property of forming proteins out of four aminoacids that randomly repeat themselves in the chain or they can for only short peptides out of four aminoacids?
