Dear MODELLER users,
I get this error message " rdpir___648E> Alignment sequence not found in PDB file: 1 ../atom_files\1ba4.pdb " in my log file when I try and run a homology model. When I reduce the number of residues in the sequence to just four the model runs OK. What is wrong, can anyone suggest anything?? I've enclosed my files :screen output, B04_2742_111_002.ali, Loop-005.py and Loop-005.log
And the -v command always gives an error too??
regards and thanks in advance.
Mike
