Hello, hellsite proteins, I need your help in a protein related endeavor. One of my friends sent a very strange discord message consisting only of random letters, much like I would expect a "cat walking on keyboard" would produce. This friend has no cat, I assume she was just severely sleep deprived or fell asleep on her keyboard or something, but that doesn't really matter. The point is I saw the message and went "holy shit that looks like a protein sequence". So I immediately went to BLAST and ran tblastn and blastp in hopes of finding something, but had no luck. Of course, even if I had found something, I would not know what the protein structure of this message would look like anyway. The sequence is as follows (page breaks and non-coding letters removed:)

Maybe this will? Or maybe it won't. Either way, thank you and I hope you have a nice day :)
i have no idea how this is gonna turn out, but i'm sure it will be bad. it still looks better than all the weird shortcuts my cat ends up accidentally clicking whenever he steps on my keyboard. thanks for sharing:)

protein guy analysis:
okay well that's not what i expected! we've got some very long helices, with high confidence scores. i assume that these residues correspond to ones typically found a lot in helices, and the software just didn't know enough to think about how long a helix tends to be. i mean there are some proteins with long alpha helices, but this is a lot. it looks neat though
