Hi Denis,
did you compare the quality of the structure calculated with modeller
with that of the template(s)?
If the quality of the model is really worse something might be wrong
with your alignment. Did you do the manual adjustment of the input
alignment on basis of the analysis of the quality of the first models?
This usually helps a lot.
I do not think that it is necessary to use charmm or another external
molecular mechanics package to improve the quality of your model.
Modeller actually uses (an older version of) the charmm force field for
the molecular mechanics part of the optimization.
Best,
Oliver
