[Biojava-l] equality of proteins based on their aminoacid sequence signature

Dear all,

I would like to know if 2 proteins that have the same sequence of 
aminoacid should be equals?
I was wandering that 2 Sequence<AminoAcidCompound> that have exactly the 
same string signature should be the same.
But it seems to be not the case.
Is it normal?

Thank for your help.


Sequence<AminoAcidCompound> protein1 = MKRISTTITTTITITTGNGAG    
hash=801818331
Sequence<AminoAcidCompound> protein2 = MKRISTTITTTITITTGNGAG    
hash=700804192

protein1.equals(protein2) return false.

Francois
