SOD1 Binder Peptide Design The perplexity scores for the candidate peptides were: ‘SDGAVLLGSDGE’ (Candidate 1): 16.25 ‘LLGSDGALQVGS’ (Candidate 2): 14.65 ‘SGVAVLCSDGQG’ (Candidate 3): 25.34 ‘AVGVCGVAVLGN’ (Candidate 4): 17.20 Lower perplexity scores suggest that the model finds a sequence more “familiar” or “expected,” potentially correlating with higher biological plausibility, conformational stability, or likelihood of interaction. Candidate 2, with a perplexity of 14.65, appears to be the most promising candidate from the mutated SOD1 sequence for further investigation, being closest to the known binding peptide’s score.Hugoen
