Input - FASTA File

To run AlphaFold, you will need a FASTA file containing your protein sequence.

You can generate a FASTA file from your own sequence, or download one from a protein database such as UniProt.

As an example, you can download a sequence from UniProt, such as P21554 (CNR1), which corresponds to the human Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CNR1), a GPCR protein.

Next, get your FASTA file onto Rivanna in your working directory. You can do this using OOD, Globus, or scp (command line tool), or you can make the file directly on Rivanna with a text editor like nano or vim.
