QUESTION:

How many different pentapeptides can be constructed from the 20 naturally occurring amino acids in Table 25.1?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

This exercise asks us to calculate the total number of different pentapeptides that can be constructed from the twenty naturally-occurring amino acids.

Recall that a pentapeptide consists of five amino acid residues. Choosing from a pool of twenty possible candidates, the math equates to:

          possible pentapeptides = \(20^5\)

                                                = 3,200,000
