That's ok, but take some time to be very specific and ask one question at a time.

I need to know how I should take the protein sequence from protein data bank(PDB).

You search for the protein in PDB, then you download the sequence, anything else?

And also I need to know that from Blastx can we convert nucleotide sequence to protein sequence.

Yes, it does. It's called translation, did you read the Blast manual?

Thank u. I know if we give protein name we can get the sequence but i dono where to look for the sequence can u elaborate it plz?

Rephrasing to sound more professional:


Thank you. I know that if we give protein name we can get the sequence, but I don't know where exactly to look for the sequence. Can you help me with this please?
