Re: [modeller_usage] exploding GTP

I'm using Modeller 9v2. My protein is a homodimer, and my template is also a homodimer. There is one molecule of AMPCPP and 2 metals bound to each chain of the template. I adjusted the PDB file (2BW7) so that the metals and nucleotides followed directly after the appropriate chain TER's. I should add that the modeling runs fine in the absence of nucleotide.
You could try using the BLK residue type (.) instead of GTP (y) in your 
model sequence - it is entirely possible that the CHARMM forcefield 
parameters for GTP are not doing a great job. As for your metal, your 
model contains MG but your template contains CA, so since you have no 
equivalent template atom, the MG gets no homology-derived restraints on 
it and it can wander (Modeller is not smart enough to recognize 
automatically that one metal could be considered equivalent to another 
here.) To fix that, you could either create manual distance restraints 
on your metal ion to hold it in place, or edit your template PDB and 
change the metal ion there to MG.
