If you want the complete sequence of the material that was studied, rather than just a list of residues for which there are coordinates, then the information that you need is on the SEQRES records. So you could try
grep "^SEQRES" followed by cut -c 20-70 with appropriate file names specified. If there is more than one chain you will need to get fancier in your cut.
