Dear All,
Please, I cannot model a beta strand (predicted as such by PSI PRED) in a protein model, even adding further restraints. I think this
depends on the fact that this region is not structured in the templates.
Please, any suggestions (see .py below)?
Many thanks.
Claudia

# Restrain the specified CA-CA distance to 10 angstroms (st. dev.=0.1)
# Use a harmonic potential and X-Y distance group.
# rsr.add(forms.gaussian(group=physical.xy_distance,

a.ending_model = 10 # index of the last model
# (determines how many models to calculate)
a.make() # do the actual homology modeling
