nselat__596E> Atom index is out of range (iatm, natm)
by MGiò 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi! I'm trying and model a 7-helix trans-membrane receptor, as I don't like the way MODELLER models my helices, while I highly appreciate its loop modelling, I've been using the "model-myini.py" input script to model my receptor starting from a initial.pdb containing the 7 helices already modelled. Every MODELLER run ends with the "nselat__596E> Atom index is out of range" error. Considering that this error changes the couple of atoms referring to any time I delete the corresponding residue in order to by-pass the error. I've attached to the mail the input files I used and the log file. Can you help me? best regards, MG

ligands
by jo hanna 28 Feb '06

Hi In the advancde tutorial a model is built and refined and then the ligands added, is this the way the modelling should be done? or it is possible to build the model straight away around the ligands? Thanks Jo

Hello all, Can any one tell me on what basis does the modeller is choosing the template for my query sequence? While the output of blast shows 3 options of more or less same scores but i got only one sequence while performing build profile in modeller. pls help.

query??
by madhurima das 28 Feb '06

Dear Sir/Madam, I am using Modeller (Mod8V1 on OS X) to add missing residues to some pdb structures. While it worked for many structures, for some, I am getting an error (while reading the sequence (aligned) files: openf___224_> Open seq.ali str_sn5___E> increase MAXN: 15 Can anyone please tell me what is the problem? Looks like I have to increase some parameter MAXN. What is is this parameter and where and how can I increase it? Thanks, Yours sincerely, Madhurima Das Junior Research Fellow Bose Institute, Kolkata India. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.

"Structure not read in" error
by Omid Khalouei 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

Hello, I am just starting to use Modeller. Even though I have a major in computer science, have used many bioinformatics tools, and am familiar with Python, I haven't been able to figure out how to run this program. To be honest I don't find it that user-friendly! Basically I'm not sure in which folder I have to put my alignment and PDB coordinate files. This is the alignment file that I have created but am not sure if it meets the specifications (they both refer to HIV-1 protease, residues 1 to 99 of chain A); P1;1A8GA structureX:1A8GA:1:A 99:A:.:.:.:. PQITLWQRPLVTIKIGGQLKEALLDTGADDTVLEEMSLPGRWKPKMIGGIGGFIKVRQYD QILIEICGHKAIGTVLVGPTPVNIIGRNLLTQIGCTLNF* P1;1ZPA sequence:1ZPA:1:A 99:A:.:.:.:. PQITLWKRPLVTIKIGGQLKEALLDTGADDTVLEEMSLPGRWKPKMIGGIGGFIKVRQYD QILIEICGHKAIGTVLVGPTPVNIIGRNLLTQIGCTLNF* The error message that I'm getting is "Structure not read in: 1" and it's raised from the Modeller8v1\modlib\modeller\util\top.py file. I would appreciate your help on this. Omid K.

modeller ga341 score
by jo hanna 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

Hi After having built my models, i have decided to assess them using the ga341 score. the script i am using is: # Example for: model.assess_ga341() env = environ() # Read a model previously generated by Modeller's automodel class mdl = model(env, file='.59.pdb') # Set template-model sequence identity. (Not needed in this case, since # this is written by Modeller into the .pdb file.) mdl.seq_id = 30.174 score = mdl.assess_ga341() the ouput of this script for two different models is: model1 % sequence identity : 30.174000 Sequence length : 531 Compactness : 0.270804 Native energy (pair) : -225.273799 Native energy (surface) : -13.946407 Native energy (combined) : -6.357012 Z score (pair) : -9.813731 Z score (surface) : -7.147611 Z score (combined) : -11.464915 GA341 score : 1.000000 model2 % sequence identity : 30.174000 Sequence length : 531 Compactness : 0.256617 Native energy (pair) : -268.422282 Native energy (surface) : -16.727187 Native energy (combined) : -7.618686 Z score (pair) : -9.969647 Z score (surface) : -7.755271 Z score (combined) : -12.156111 GA341 score : 1.000000 how do i interpret these outputs? should both scores be 1?
