Sorry. when the .ini file is written it means Modeler accepted the
alignment, right or wrong, and the run will not stop for the error mentioned
in your option 1.

Conversation: Ligand clues and water blues
Subject: Re: Ligand clues and water blues
Hi Jo,
You have two messages and I am not sure where you are. I mentioned earlier
in my reply to replace the /...* with XXX* for the template and ...* for the
model in your alignment file. It seems like you're still including the '/'
character, which is unnecessary at the end of the sequence and may cause
problems (shifts). The '/' is necessary to break the peptide sequence in the
middle of the sequence, not at the end. IF you do a dimer for example you
need it there between the monomers, but NOT at the end.
In option one,
> this gives this error:
> rdabrk__290E> Number of residues in the alignment and pdb files are
> different: 517 516
> For alignment entry: 1
> recover____E> ERROR_STATUS >= STOP_ON_ERROR: 1 1
the error is real and you should look for where the problem is in the pdb
file vs the alignment file. As I understand it you should have the residues
coordinates in the pdb file then two ligands AMP (515) and Mg (516), and
then one water molecule, which should be marked as HETATM with the number
517. If this is the way it is and the second line of the template in
alignment file is:
structureX:Bamu:1 : :517H : :unknown:unknown:-1.00:-1.00
RKQLPEPDLTFXXX*
and the XXX* is aligned with the ...* AFTER the .ini is written (see below),
then you should not get this error, unless you deleted something (a residue)
by mistake.
In option 2:
You MUST check the alignment file for shifts after you exe or start the
Modeler_Run AND the .ini file is written. Modeler 7 is known for introducing
'-' into the sequence and things get messed up. This occurs near the '/'
character.
In option 3:
Everyone else can correct me, if I am wrong, but I do not see the problem
with water coming up as BLK. As long as it's in the proper position in the
3D structure, it's OK. Just replace BLK with HOH manually in the pdb file.
If you do the XXX aligned with ... then all HETATM including water are
treated as HETATM and renamed BLK.
In option 4:
I would leave water_IO = on out. Do not assume that all the commands work
perfectly right. As I mentioned above Modeler 7 has this shift issues that
was not present in Modeler 6.
Best regards,
Walid Mohsen
