From another viewpoint:
- Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins.
- As a chemical family, there are a large number of amino acids
- But living creatures on Earth only use 21 amino acids out of this large family
So you could imagine large numbers of proteins in hypothetical living creatures on other planets
- Containing amino acids which are not coded by human DNA...
