This sequence was submitted to Swiss Model, which generated the homology model shown here () using 2qgz chain A as a template, which has 18.6% sequence identity. Apparently Swiss Model used predicted secondary structure to help in the sequence alignment, but details are not clear to me. The homology model represents residues 55-237, shown in boldface in the above sequence.

Swiss Model has apparently used the temperature value field in the PDB file to indicate regions that are highly unreliable, namely the regions that are red when the model is . These regions are shown as translucent white in the initial scene (using the Jmol command select temperature >50).

The template was . The portion of the template used was Glu107-Arg300. Only the amino-terminal 6 residues were not used as template (translucent). Note that there are in this segment of the template that lack coordinates due to disorder in the crystal (marked with spacefilled alpha-carbon atoms).

The missing loops are 202-205 (NGSV), 226-231 (EQATSW), and 268-275 (TIKGSDET). These gaps, which occur between the residues marked /\ below, were apparently ignored in making the model, which has a continuous main chain.
