We have a problem building a 2-domain protein based on multiple (8) other
proteins. We put a slash between the two domains so that Modeller knows not
to connect the termini. We have no problems with large distances between
equivalent CA's of different proteins. the only unusual aspect we notice is
that the pair of warnings (?) "drmsq1__W> n<2 and drmsq3__W> n<2" occurs 19
times. No error message occurs, but no model is produced either. Please
find attached part of the output. Hope this is enough for the experts on
ths list to give us hints as to how to resolve this issue.
Thanks a million,
