The simplest is to look in SWISSPROT. You will find the sequence (complete
even if the PDB entry is a fragment) and the secondary structure assignments.
Of course, there are cases where this does not apply:
o more than one structure for a protein, where SWISSPROT may have only one
example
o Immunoglobulin and other entries that SWISSPROT excludes to avoid
redundancy
o new PDB entries that have not yet made it into SWISSPROT or SWISSNEW
