Despite Dembski's insistence that proteins contain large amounts of specified complexity, noone knows how to calculate the amount, including Dembski himself, making the assertion that some entity contains "large amounts" of it, null and void.
I'll also remind everyone of this discussion from the blog the Dembski himself created, in which members were asked to demonstrate how CSI could be calculated for a series of real world scenarios. No one could, at least not in such a way that did not show that whatever CSI might be, it could easily be generated by common evolutionary processes. Maybe asyncritus could give answering the questions a try.
