[modeller_usage] problem



Dear Sir, 

Thank you very much for all previous replies. I am having some problems, 
please provide a solution to them.

1. Is the value of objective function obtained after complete process of 
MODELER , system size specific? I mean when I model a system of > 500 
residues (target), it generates >50000 restraints (3 templates used) and 
final value of objective function is >20000, but when I model a part of 
the target , taking respectively aligned template portions, approx 150 
residues (target), the restraints generated are around 9000 and final 
value of objective function comes to 2000 units.
So, this shows that smaller the system , lower the final value of 
objective function, same restraints selected in both cases and assume no 
violations. Please comment 

2. Also, how can one decide that such high values of objective function 
are acceptable or not, assume there are no violations?
(Please specify if you have such experience/idea of Modelling bigger 
proteins.)
 
3. Thirdly, from documentation I came to understand that, that when one 
wants to generate non bonded pair restraints as static ones, he has to 
include them in MAKE_RESTRAINTS command and keep all DYNAMIC_SPHERE, 
LENNARD, COULOMB, etc off. Can you tell me which is better , non bonded 
restraints used as static or non bonded restraints as dynamic (generated 
automatically by MODELER on fly)?

Please explain.

Thank you very much in advance.

sincerely,
