This sequence consists of 14 amino acid residues that are numbered consequtively 11-24.

Residue names are case sensitive.

Reduced cysteine residues are denoted by CYS, oxidized cystine residues (involved in disulfide bridges) are denoted by CYSS, if the standard residue library is used.

By default, OMEGA torsion angles, e.g. in the peptide bonds in proteins, are kept fixed in the trans position, $\omega =180$. Optionally, OMEGA angles can be fixed in the cis position, $\omega =180$, by adding a lower case 'c' in front of the residue name.

Equivalent forms

Residue numbers can be omitted if they are equal to the residue number of the previous residue plus 1. The first residue number can be omitted if it is equal to 1.
