Answer: Most probably not, that is, not all the proteins could be made, since proteins are composed of amino acids bonded by peptide bonds. If one amino acid was lacking, and it were an essential one, then very luckily that not all proteins could be made, since various proteins would require this one amino acid in order for it to be produced in the first place.

Hope that helps!!:)
