The 21 amino acids can be arranged in many different ways. It is possible with just this small number of amino acids to create thousands of different types of proteins. Think of amino acids like they were little connecting blocks, such as legos. You have 21 of them before you. How many different ways can you arrange them? The formation of protein is similar.

There are choices for this question namely:

a. What is your name and where do you live?
b. How much poison did you swallow?
c. How long have you been feeling this way?
<span>d. What have you recently had to eat or drink?
</span>
The correct answer is "what have you recently had to eat or drink". This will confirm the suspicion by first ruling out potential reactive foods or drinks that may have caused a similar reaction (i.e. allergic reactions). If that is ruled out, then the probing about the history of intake of poison will come next in the interview.
