I tried that. My protein has a mutation at res. 141, so it said: *Error at residue 141 : The sequence in your PDB file does not match your BLAST query sequence. *Here is the plain sequence alignment <http://www.mcgnmr.ca/ProtSkin/tmp/01232-sequence_alignment> derived from it. I deleted res. 141 and re-ran but: *Error at residue 142 : The sequence in your PDB file does not match your BLAST query sequence. *Here is the plain sequence alignment <http://www.mcgnmr.ca/ProtSkin/tmp/01232-sequence_alignment> derived from it. and 142 is correctly assigned ! This looked like it was going to work ! Iain Mark Brooks wrote: > Hi, > > did you try Protskin?
