importance of making sure a drug's aim is true

What does it mean when it says, "Where do the "Patched" proteins match your sequence? (The numbers given correspond to the amino acid sequence of the protein.)?"
Please reply ASAP

Thanks

In this example, "patched" is the name of the protein. Does that make sense? If not, please show me exactly where you found that sentence... which page, where?

Thanks!

Yes, patched is the name of the protein. If you hover your mouse over the grey box where it says "patched" (or any other protein name), a pop-up gives information about the protein.

Can you see where the sequence overlaps?
