sequence

While writing a MC-SYM script, one musts first specify the sequence he or she is working on. This is done in the sequence section and it's usually the first line of a MC-SYM III script. The syntax is the following:

sequence (<type><residueId><sequence>+)

	<type>	=	r for RNA or d for DNA.
	<residueId>	=	<chainId> <residueNo>
	<residueNo>	=	Specify the number of the first residue of the sequence.
	<sequence>	=	The sequence should be entered in uppercase, containing exclusively 'A', 'C', 'G' or 'U'.

This command creates the sequence in memory and prepare it for conformational exploration. It is possible to use many sequence command to describe different strand or to break down a long strand for the aesthetic of the script.

Example:

 sequence (r A11 GCCAUUUUCGAAUGGC)
