There is currently no way to do what you want, as far as I know. We have long
disucssed having some field like "pdbresnum" that would store the original
residue number and use that for some purposes (like constraints), but it is
quite tricky to get this all to work the way it should. If it were just an
offset (adding 134 to every residue number) that could be relatively easily
done. But in practice, people want to allow for inserts and deletions,
residues "numbers" like 262A, and so on.
Volunteers or suggestions are welcome. It's likely that this is one area
where sleap may help.
