====== Amino Acid Sequence Search ======
(link to screenshot 11)
GeneDesigner permits you to search for any sequence that exists within a construct.
 

===== Searching for an amino acid sequence within a construct =====
  * This search will identify an amino acid sequence that is present 
    * within an amino acid element
    * encoded within a DNA element
    * encoded within a DNA sequence that results from the juxtaposition of two or more elements
  * In [[ui:Sequence View]] select the "Find" panel (label in screenshot 11)
    * Select the "Amino Acids" tab
    * Type a sequence into the "Sequence" box
    * Click the "Find" button
      * Results are displayed in a hit list, which displays the position of each occurrence of the amino acid sequence
      * Clicking on the sequence / motif in the hit list highlights the site within the [[ui:Sequence View | local sequence window]]
    * Initiate a new search by clicking on the "back/clear" button
 

=== Restricting your search ===
  * The default settings are to search for the selected sequence / motif within every construct in the project
  * To limit the search to a single construct, or just a part of a construct, select the "Restrict Search" button (label in screenshot 9).
    * Selecting this button will restrict the search to constructs or elements that are highlighted in the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]].
