Each substructural segment is described by a segment identifier. It consists of two parts separated by a colon and @.
The first number is the the molecule number (e.g., number 1 for chain A and number 2 for chain B in structure 2zta, the leucine zipper). It can be ommitted if only one chain is present.
The second part after the colon describes the range of residues to be considered (e.g. 0-31 for all residue including the blocking acetyl residue in the case of leucine zipper).
Examples for valid segment identifiers are "1:@2-12", "3:@0-31", or ":@2-12".

Below, you see the corresponding output for the above example.
The lines starting with 'asc >' respond to the script input, all the others are produces by ASC.
