PART 1: Generate Binders with PepMLM Begin by retrieving the human SOD1 sequence from UniProt (P00441) and introducing the A4V mutation.
SOD1 Sequence from Uniprot is:

Mutations in SOD1 causes familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Among these mutations, one that causes a very aggressive form of the disease is the A4V mutation (where residue 4 is changed from Alanine → Valine). Introducing A4V mutation makes the sequence:</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/isobel-jo-leonard/homework/week-05-hw-protein-design-part-ii/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
