I had a brain fart. I was thinking of DNA base pairs not amino acids :) Thanks for that. There are 20 amino acids. Each AA in a sequence represents approx 4.3

I had a brain fart. I was thinking of DNA base pairs not amino acids :) Thanks for that. There are 20 amino acids. Each AA in a sequence represents approx 4.3 bits. So 9-11 AA would be 38.7-47.3 bits. Not quite as much as an MD5 hash (128 bits), but still quite a bit of info.
