James,

First, there's a bug in the script. It's not dealing with selName
correctly. To get around this just provide something to selName:

findSeq S.G, 1a3h, selName=found_seq

If findSeq finds the sequence, it'll return the selected atoms in found_seq.


Next, SYG is not in that protein. If you search for "S.G" you find
SNG. You can double check this by:

fStr = cmd.get_fastastr("1a3h")

print "SYG" in fStr

which return false.

Cheers,

-- Jason
