My target protein has two zinc atoms. I aslo obtain the binding sites of these metals in my target sequence.how do i incorporate these zn ions in to my modelled structure?Is it appropriate to include zn ions after modelling or is it neccessary to include it before modelling? Also please give me a procedure to do this like example script files or alignment files or any alternative methods.
Did you look at the example at http://salilab.org/modeller/9v7/manual/node18.html ? It does essentially what you want to do (just with Fe-S clusters rather than Zn).
