Protein Sequence:
The sequence of a protein is just the order of amino acids starting from the first nitrogen (amino terminus). If you are having trouble identifying the amino terminus, try this:

You may also find it useful to remove the hydrogens:

Note: In all of these structures all of the residues are labeled "GLY". You will have to compare sidechains structures to identify the amino acid.
