    Check whether the protein sequence is a valid amino acid sequence or not

    Usage:

    result=ProteinCheck(protein)

    Input: protein is a pure protein sequence.

    Output: if the check is no problem, result will return the length of protein.

    if the check has problems, result will return 0.
