The problem here would be the number of base pairs that are required to code for even a small protein. ... However, even these smaller chunks are incredibly complex and to code for them requires many base pairs to be in the correct order.
Not exactly sure what you are asking. Proteins are used in the cell for all kinds of functions - for example one protein might be used in the process of breaking down a particular chemical.
