Answer:

You can come up with several different answers. See my explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably easiest to first figure out which amino acids these are:

Amino Acid 1 is Lysine

Amino Acid 2 is Alanine

Amino Acid 3 is Glycine

To create two different proteins (that have 4 amino acids in each) just make up two different strings of amino acids:

1. Lysine-Alanine-Glycine-Lysine

2. Alanine-Lysine-Glycine-Glycine

3. Glycine-Glycine-Alanine-Lysine

You can just keep going. Even one change to the order will generate a new protein. Just make sure you use all 3 amino acids and make sure the order is different!
