Discuss in this thread whether artificial protein synthesis is possible.

Yes, it is.
What's to discuss?

Oh, I've surprised.

Can we make artificial ivory?

Not really.
Ivory is a combination of mineral material (largely hydrated calcium phosphate, I think) and proteins (largely collagen).
Collagen isn't hard to get; nor is the calcium phosphate.
But combining them is impractical/ impossible.

The good news is that the only thing that ever needs ivory is an elephant, and it can make its own.

Where does the difficulty of making ivory come from? Complexity? Energy? Being too small of components?

Ok, I will close this thread. Thank you.

Yes, it is possible to artificially synthesize proteins. Synthetic proteins are created by combining amino acids in a laboratory setting. This process is known as protein engineering and involves manipulating the structure and function of proteins to create new proteins with desired properties.
