Sometimes the residues of a protein are numbered according to a different ''reference sequence''. When there are insertions relative to the reference sequence, the additional residues may all be given the same sequence number, but marked with alphabetic insertion codes. This is frequently done in antibodies, where the reference sequence is the germline sequence, but the antibody has been somatically mutated, especially in complementarity-determining region (CDR) 3. An example is [http://firstglance.jmol.org/fg.htm?mol=1igy 1igy] ([[1igy]]). Four residues in chain B all have sequence number 82. They are distinguished by insertion codes: 82, 82A, 82B, 82C. At right is this part of the PDB file. Below are residues 81-83 showing their sequence numbers in [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]. Insertion codes are given following a caret "^". (How? See note <ref>blah</ref>) | Sometimes the residues of a protein are numbered according to a different ''reference sequence''.
