combining two proteins
by Han Choe 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Dear all, Let's say that I have two pdb files of protein A and protein B and that approximate interactions of the two proteins are known. Then can I get a complex structure using MODELLER by restraining the distances of two or three interactions between A and B in the top file with the following type of alignment file? >P1;A structureX:A --AAAAA--/------------* >P1;B structureX:B -------------/--BBBBB--* >P1;AB sequence:AB --AAAAA--/--BBBBB--* Cheers, Han

Dear sir, To generate a model containing Hydrogen atoms, is it necessary that templates should have Hydrogen atoms too or these will be modeled by MODELER itself? Thanking you, sincerely, Vivek Sharma -- VIVEK SHARMA HBG BI

Modelling multiple chains
by gerald.quon＠utoronto.ca 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, I'm interested in modelling a dimer composed of two chains. I would definitely like to avoid modelling each chain separately, then combining the PDB files - is it possible to model them together in MODELLER? I would try just concatenating the two chains into one, but i'm guessing the discontinuity of the backbone will mess around with the minimization... Gerald

upper and lower distance restraints
by Youbin Tu 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi all: I want to define some restraints in the top file. Assume we know the maximum and minimum distances between two atoms (non-bond), Which form and group type should we use? since there are so many types of groups to define distance restraints, which one should I use for my case? I looked through the manual, but did not find enough talking about it. Here is an example, The maximum distance between Fe:513 and C7:514 is 6.0(1.0) The miminum distance between Fe:513 and C7:514 is 2.0(1.0) I included the following line in the top file: SUBROUTINE ROUTINE = 'special_restraints' ADD_RESTRAINT ATOM_IDS = 'FE:513' 'C7:514', ; RESTRAINT_PARAMETERS = 2 1 1 22 2 2 0 6.0 1.0 ADD_RESTRAINT ATOM_IDS = 'FE:513' 'C7:514', ; RESTRAINT_PARAMETERS = 1 1 1 21 2 2 0 2.0 1.0 RETURN END_SUBROUTINE Is it correct? Again, If I did so, does that mean that the program have to force the distance between those 2 atoms within that range even though it may take the risk to corrupt the whole structure? Or if some restraints will destroy the whole structure, the program will discard the user's restraints in order to " save" the final model? thanks. youbin ---------------------- Youbin Tu CCMM Lab,BPS Schoof of Pharmacy,WVU

How to preserve internal coordinates for identical residues
by James T Metz 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Modeller Users, Sorry if this is a FAQ, but ... Is there a simple command or set of TOP keywords that will preserve internal coordinates (especially dihedral angles) when an amino acid in my structure file and the amino acid in my alignment file are identical? In other words, I would like to constrain (fix) internal coordinates when there is no change of amino acids when building homology models. Please also comment if for some reason this is not a good idea. Regards, Jim Metz James T.

Re: RE: [modeller_usage] wrong topology for the ligand?
by Youbin Tu 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi all: Thanks for you guys' kind help,which made me know a lot. Although I have not found out exactly which step is wrong. I figured out one way to pass by the problem. Just to output the ligand from InsightII in a pdb format, and use the pdb file as another template for the protein you want to model,of course, some restraints have been also defined to make the ligand properly located in the active site. The method worked very well, the ligand looks fine. Hope it can also save some time for people who have the same problems. Cheers. youbin Youbin Tu wrote: >Hi Alicia, Ben: > Thanks for your reply, which help me a lot. > But for my specific situation, the ligand I am trying to use is >phenacetin which did not exist in the template pdb file.

If i removed these lines from the restrain file, the program is getting core dumped. can you please help me out this problem.
