Re: [modeller_usage] modeller_usage Digest, Vol 10, Issue 108



Dear Mustafa, 
As such energy can't discriminate between close decoys, Normalized_dope gives a better idea. You may see the effect of each of the Modeller assessment score through your modeling script this way.

a = automodel(env,
alnfile  = '------', 
knowns   = ('---', '---'),    
sequence = 'target',              
assess_methods=(assess.DOPE, assess.GA341,assess.normalized_dope))

Use a redirection operator > to save modeling result. Then use the trajectory of these values in your modeling. You will get your answer if you try modeling a known structure target, so that you can affirm model evaluation through GDT scores.

Good Luck,
Ashish

Do you mean the SO was 70% for a cutoff of 3.5A?

The percentage of equivalent (i.e. within the cutoff) positions is the 
qscorepct member of the SalignData object returned by salign(). Set the 
cutoff with the rms_cutoff argument. And make sure you have QUALITY in 
the output argument.

As I said, only for structure alignments.

I'm assuming you're looking at fig 1 in the paper here. There are three 
iterative procedures within that flowchart; one of them is skipped if 
the first procedure (simpler alignment using a subset of features) found 
a reasonable starting guess for the last procedure (structural 
alignment). The second procedure is simply an attempt to improve this 
guess if the first failed.

Dear Modellers,
May somebody tell me the logic of using rms_cutoff=3.5 while comparing and aligning multiple structures. Even when you alter, no difference come up in the generated model. Is this upper bound a relaxed in every modeling case. It may not be so, when same family proteins are aligned. So this strict upper bound on C? distance may leave several large chunks unaligned. Variable gap penalty makes the alignment correct through flexible allowed superposition, but why changing rms_cutoff didn't generate better models, not even 0.1 GDT_TS improvement was not observed.

Thanks
Ashish

Changing rms_cutoff will not change the alignment. The cutoff is simply 
the distance below which two residues are considered to be structurally 
equivalent when aligned, so it will only affect measures such as the 
structural overlap (and quality score).

Dear Ben

I wanna repeat the question already asked by some one regarding the
selection of best model criterion. I  have developed pentamer Structure
using model-multichain.py command i want to know on what basis i should
select the best model out of 20 models. I have checked both modeller
objective function scores and also Dope score but there i could not observe
any correlation between the two.

Can i get your input in this regard

Regards
