The variety of proteins arises from the combination of 20 different amino acids, which can be arranged in countless sequences. Even small proteins can have hundreds to trillions of possible combinations, leading to the formation of numerous unique proteins with distinct functions. The specific sequence of amino acids not only determines the structure of proteins but also their specific roles in biological processes.
