I'm trying to model the N-terminus of mature canine Apolipoprotein A-I using Chimera. However the actual sequence in uniprot is not that of the mature protein. Here is the sequence:
MKAALLTLAVLFLTGSQARHFWQQDEPQSPWDRVKDLATVYVDAVKDSGRDYVAQFEASA

The sequence of the mature form is:
DEPQSPWDRVKDLATVYVDAVKDSGRDYVAQFEASA
LGKQLNLKLLDNWDSLSSTVTKLREQIGPVTQEFWDNLEKETEVLRQEMSKDLEEVKQKV

According to how the sequence is labeled in uniprot the first aspartate residue of mature canine
Apolipoprotein A-I starts at position 25, and this what Chimera uses. However, for the mature
protein this should start at position 1. How can I change the numbering system so the first
aspartate residue starts at position 1?
I would be very glad for your advice.
Thank you.
