Sequence Count Residues
Count occurrences of a specific amino acid or nucleotide residue in a sequence. Accepts either a raw sequence string or a UniProt accession (fetches protein sequence from UniProt REST API). Reports count, fraction, percentage, and 1-based positions. Useful for cysteine counting (disulfide bond estimation), charged residue analysis, or nucleotide composition.
