  1.  tripeptide from 1 amino acid ex gly-gly-gly                                               20 tripeptides
  2.  tripeptide from 2 alike and 1 distinct amino acid                                    20 . 19C .(3!/2!) tripeptides
  3.  tripeptide from 3 distinct amino acids                                                          20C3 . 3!    tripeptides                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Total = 7373  tripeptides                         Approve the answer if correct
