Hello,

Welcome to the club of unexpected results!

You don't provide a lot of background, but based on what you wrote you can:

1. Do a BLAST search using a known part of your sequence to find whether
this sequence has been deposited.

2. Assign the different residues based on the chemical environment and
electron density and refine the structure.

I'm sure you can submit the refined structure to the PDB even from an
unknown protein.

Regards,

Pedro Matias
