[modeller_usage] Regarding Model Building

[Ashish Runthala <>]

Dear Modellers,
I have a pretty small question. Is there a way in MODELLER where i can completely use a single template along with its side-chain topology? 
So while aligned with target, I would expect that the template's backbone and side-chain relative orientations, topology and architecture is properly copied from the considered template, and then I would expect MODELLER to model the unaligned flexible chunks through the exactly copied scaffolds from the template. 

In normal modelling scripts, it simply harness the peptide backbone localization information from the template and then fixes the side-chains with its own algorithms.


HOW CAN I GET MY QUERY SOLVED WITH AN ADDITIONAL LINE IN MODEL-SINGLE.PY TO COMPLETELY EMPLOY TEMPLATE WITH ITS PEPTIDE BACKBONE ALONG WITH SIDE-CHAINS?


Thanks
Ashish
