Clay,
I think your searching technique may give you some troubles as it is
often the case that a citation could be found that did not start at the
same point of the protein (eg. they have a longer or shorter lead).
Therefore, just counting to position 141 might not give you proper
citiations as the amino acid you are looking for is at position 138 in
the citation for example.
Unless you know for certain that all citations will start at the same
point, then you really need to do more than counting to a particular
position. You will have to assess each citation to see where their
starting point is in relation to yours.

weird search
If you know that your interested in a single highly
conserved amino acid in a protein say A141 , how can
you quickly get the corresponding amino acid number
(A???) in homologous proteins.
I now have a list of aligned proteins but I have to
count over to the proper position for each individual
protein to get the amino acid number I'm interested
in.
Any ideas?
