Hi Stephen,
I think that while the PDB may accept the new numbering that you provide with
your truncated structure (I'm not sure about that though), it'll be quite
annoying for somebody who'd like to compare your structure with that of the
untruncated one. Besides, from what I've seen and experienced myself, residue
numbering in entries usually adheres to the position in the sequence. Also,
many structures are missing segments in the N-termini and the number of the
first residue is usually the correct sequence number and not 1. Upon deposition
you'll be asked to provide the information about the missing piece and its
position in the sequence.
Cheers,
Boaz

Subject: [ccp4bb] PDB deposition of internally truncated protein
Dear All,
I need to deposit in the PDB the co-ordinates of a protein with an
internal truncation.
If I do this in the normal way with consecutive numbering according to
the actual polypeptide sequence
in the crystal, the residue numbers after the truncation will not
correspond to the equivalent residues
in the untruncated protein (of which there is also a structure). Is
there any good solution to this problem?
thanks
Stephen Cusack
