Thanks!
I've posted the sequence on http://bioinfo.pl/meta/ . I havent been able to
figure out if I get a file with the coordinates for the structure or
what....
All I really want to do is to use it for a presentation of my bachelor
project where I've worked with five mutants of the human thymidine kinase 1.
I never meant to start a new project :-)
Thanks
Ulrik
