  1. Proteins are sequences of different amino acids

    DNA is a sequence of different deoxyribonucleic acids

    Amino acids of proteins are distinguished by their side chains

    Deoxyribonucleic acids of DNA are distinguished by their sugar-linked bases

    Amino acids of proteins have 22 different side chains.

    Deoxyribonucleic acids have only four bases

    Protein chains are linked by amide bonds

    DNS chains are linked by deoxyribose-phosphate ester bonds

    Protein chains are coiled into alpha helixes and folded into other more subtle structure

    DNA chains are also coiled into alpha helixes.

    Proteins are sometimes associated in chains, as the A, B, and C proteins of insulin

    DNA is always coiled into a double helix of sense and nonsense sequence

    Protein chains are often linked by disulfide, -S-S-, bonds

    DNA chains never are

    DNA codes for proteins in order to make them

    Proteins don't code for anything; except for polymerase enzymes, proteins don't "make" DNA
