How many molecules are in this 32-mer peptide? Is there a model/pisture of it somewhere?

32 amino acids. (That's why a "polymer" is a chain of "monomers"! :-)

Here's a page I found with some animation of the peptide.

Fortunately, amino acids don't care about whether or not they are part of a larger structure, they simply exist. What happens, happens.

How many peptides (each with 32 or more amino acids) would it take to store the first gene in a primitive life form?

With that number, we can calculate the probability / improbability of amino acids randomly (i.e., without intelligent aid) forming a tiny part of a DNA strand.

Of course, we'll wind up with a number that causes Evolutionists to go into massive denial, but such is the nature of math...

Hey thanks! I understand the mono vs poly part. I didn't know what the mer part meant. I take it there are a quite a few molecules per amino acids? Darn, I was looking for t-shirt material.
