                  <div class="yiv3867718763moz-cite-prefix">Thanks a lot
                    for sending the file. So I've managed to track it
                    down to a problem with the chain code used for the
                    ATOM lines (your file has an empty chain code) and
                    the one used for the SEQRES lines (chain code A). It
                    is a bug in CMView: it does not match the 2
                    sequences up and then tries to guess a sequence from
                    the residue numbers in ATOM lines, instead of using
                    the SEQRES one.<br>
                    <br>
                    In any case the problem is solved if you use the
                    chain code A for your ATOM lines (replacing the
                    blank in column 22), then you get the correct
                    contact map displayed. Also I've noticed that your
                    coordinates end at TYR 226, but the SEQRES sequence
                    has a few more residues. It would be good if you
                    also removed those from SEQRES so that you don't
                    have a few trailing unobserved (empty coordinates)
                    residues.<br>
                    <br>
                    We'll try to fix the bug at some point, but that
                    will take some time as at the moment we are bit
                    short of time.<br>

                                  <br>
                                  I would say that this is a known
                                  problem with the program that doesn't
                                  cope well when the sequence numbering
                                  starts at a high number. If I
                                  understand from the output you show,
                                  your model is based on PDB code 2kun,
                                  isn't it? I've tried the original 2kun
                                  PDB file and it worked alright.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  My guess is that in your case it
                                  doesn't work because there is no
                                  SEQRES records indicating what the
                                  exact sequence is for the PDB file. Do
                                  you have SEQRES records in your file?
                                  If not you can add them from the
                                  original PDB file and try it again.
                                  Another way to solve the issue is to
                                  renumber your residue serials in the
                                  ATOM lines to start at 1. <br>
                                  <br>
                                  Let us know if that helps. If not it
                                  would be useful to have a look at your
                                  PDB file to be able to track down
                                  exactly what went wrong with the
                                  program.<br>
