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.
Unusual sequence numbering
From Proteopedia
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 as well as Proteopedia.
Not Monotonic
Rarely, sequence numbers do not increase monotonically from N to C terminus. An example is 4zwj 4zwj[1].
