In my browser, in plain text, square brackets show up as square brackets inside code tags([X]), while bolded square brackets show up as curly brackets ([X]). This means that bolding the bracket in the definition "This pattern may be written as N{P}[ST]{P} where N=Asn, P=Pro, S=Ser, T=Thr; {X} means any amino acid except X; and [XY] means either X or Y" makes things confusing.

It's also a little confusing that square brackets with one element means "not" while square brackets with more than one element means "or".

I am not a bioinformatics person, so I don't know if the brackets are supposed to be square or curly; I just know that it's confusing as is. Ducky 00:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Arg. Never mind, the problem was with my font, not with the page contents. My mono unbolded curly brace showed up as a square bracket. I reverted. Ducky 00:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
