This hypothetical protein is made up of only 7 amino acids. The largest protein [Titin] is made up of a chain of 34,350 amino acids!!!

The omission of a single amino acid in the protein chain can have drastic results

The CFTR protein is 1480 amino acids long. The amino acid at position 508 in the chain is PHENYLALANINE. If this one amino acid is missing it causes the condition CYSTIC FIBROSIS
