[modeller_usage] Loop optimization starting from a structure with ligand



Hello,

I am trying to perform loop optimization on a protein structure which contains a non-standard ligand. The optimization I am attempting requires constrains between the ligand and the loops. Protein is chain A, ligand is a single residue defined as chain B, described as heteroatoms.

I had no trouble performing homology modeling from a structure containing the ligand, and it was correctly carried upon once I define env.io.hetatm = True .However this seems not to work anymore when doing loop optimization only on the same structure. When I try to run the job, I always get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Looking in the log, I think this is the relevant warning:

transfe_404W> At least one template is aligned with model residue   309:B
              but no coordinates could be transferred. This usually
              occurs when your input files do not use the official
              PDBv3 atom names. Please check your templates.

Any help on what information should I look for to troubleshoot this is very welcome.
