no, it should make it easier for humans to compare different but related structures, e.g. for the Trypsin-like serin protease prethrombin2 in 1hag the numbering is done like in chymotrypsin it may become clearer if you read the REMARKs REMARK 4 CHYMOTRYPSIN NUMBERING (RATHER THAN SEQUENTIAL) SYSTEM IS 1HAG 74 REMARK 4 USED, BASED ON THE TOPOLOGICAL ALIGNMENT WITH THE 1HAG 75 REMARK 4 STRUCTURE OF CHYMOTRYPSIN (W.BODE ET AL., 1989, EMBO J. 8, 1HAG 76 REMARK 4 3467-3475). 1HAG 77 Regards, Jan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
