Zero Probability

There are 3 basic conditions for the formation of a useful protein:
First condition: that all the amino acids in the protein chain are of the right type and in the right sequence
Second condition: that all the amino acids in the chain are left-handed

Third condition: that all of these amino acids are united between them by forming a chemical bond called "peptide
bond".
In order for a protein to be formed by chance, all three basic conditions must exist simultaneously. The probability
of the formation of a protein by chance is equal to the multiplication of the probabilities of the realisation of each of
these conditions.
For instance, for an average molecule comprising of 500 amino acids:

1. The probability of the amino acids being in the right sequence:
There are 20 types of amino acids used in the composition of proteins. According to this:
- The probability of each amino acid being chosen correctly among these 20 types = 1/20
500 650
- The probability of all of those 500 amino acids being chosen correctly = 1/20 = 1/10
650
= 1 chance in 10

2. The probability of the amino acids being left-handed:
- The probability of only one amino acid being left-handed = 1/2
- The probability of all of those 500 amino acids being left-handed at the same time = 1/2 500 = 1/10 150
150
= 1 chance in 10
3. The probability of the amino acids being combined with a "peptide bond":
Amino acids can combine with each other with different kinds of chemical bonds. In order for a useful protein to be
formed, all the amino acids in the chain must have been combined with a special chemical bond called a "peptide
bond". It is calculated that the probability of the amino acids being combined not with another chemical bond but by
a peptide bond is 50%. In relation to this:
- The probability of two amino acids being combined with a "peptide bond" = 1/2
499 150
- The probability of 500 amino acids all combining with peptide bonds = 1/2 = 1/10
150
= 1 chance in 10
