thanks for all replies, summarized below:

the suggestion from Gerard did the job. In the entry from S2C database the missing residues are flagged with "367", you still need to go through the file; but it is easy to pick the missing parts! I haven't checked the SSM or TCOFFEE suggestion; but I guess it should work as well. Procheck reported "Chain Break" in the logfile but this does not give location of the missing residues; rather it showed a chain break between "unknown amino acids"

Gerard DVD:

see dunbrack's S2C (database and server) at http://dunbrack.fccc.edu/Guoli/s2c/

Jurgen:
You could use the EBI-SSM server http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/ssm/ and run a secondary structure matching. It will try to match the structure to it's closest know relative and print out a sequence alignment. You can do this also with other 3d alignment programs e.g. Tcoffee etc. http://igs-server.cnrs-mrs.fr/Tcoffee/tcoffee_cgi/index.cgi

You will still have to look at the output but you will quickly see which parts are missing in your structure.

Todd Green,
you can run procheck from ccp4i. it will give you info such as in the log file:

Chain break between  166 (A 169 ) and  167 (A 177 )

which i believe translates to renumbered residue # for last residue before the break(chain and original res #ing) and renumbered residue # for first residue after the break(chain and original res #ing)


  Thanks Gerard, jurgen and Todd.

  regards,
  Ibrahim

Hi bb,

I wonder if there is a program, server, script that can analyze the pdb file to enlist the missing residues (for the case in my hand, REMARK 465 is absent from the pdb file while the structure is full of gaps!). I looked in utility programs like moleman2, pdbset, and tried to google but couldn't find a suitable tool.

   thanks,
  Ibrahim
