We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

The numbering of protein and nucleic acid sequences is arbitrary in structure files from the World Wide Protein Data Bank (PDB). Here are some examples. These PDB entries are not shown here. To explore these, the links below will display them in FirstGlance in Jmol (link with arrow) or in Proteopedia.
Not Monotonic
Rarely, sequence numbers do not increase monotonically from N to C terminus. An example[1] is 4zwj / 4zwj. In this chimeric protein, chain A is numbered 1002-1161 continuing 1-326 continuing 2012-2361. That is, there are sudden jumps in numbering of consecutive amino acids: 1161 to 1, and 326 to 2012.
