Loop modeling
by bharat lal 01 Mar '11

Hi, I have modelled a protein using secondary structure restrained script... The model seems to be perfectly fine .. but one portion of the model is converted into a helix which has to be a loop according to the template .. how can I force that region to be a loop ??? ------------ Bharat Ph.D. Candidate Room No. : 7202A, 2nd Floor Biomolecular Engineering Laboratory Division of Chemical Engineering and Polymer Science Pusan National University Busan -609735 South Korea Lab phone no. - +82-51-510-3680, +82-51-583-8343 E-mail : monu46010(a)yahoo.com

Regarding Salign
by Ashish Runthala 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Dear Modellers, How does align2d_mult actually adds the target sequence onto the aligned templates ali file. What is the logic considered by align2d_mult to align the target sequence onto the structurally aligned templates' ali file.It just considers topology of coordinates but no structural information is known for target. So how does it considers restraints from templates to align target sequence? Thanks Ashish Ashish Runthala, Lecturer, Structural Biology Cell, Biological Sciences Group, BITS Pilani Rajasthan - INDIA

about model rank
by albert 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hello: I've built 1000 models by modeller and I forgot save the log file. So I cannot obtain the DOPE or MOLPDF information for each residues. I am wondering, is it possible to rank then manually? Thank you very much

Structural alignment using iterative_structural_alignment
by Seungyeul Yoo 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

I was trying to clean two pdb files and superpose them based on the pairwise structural alignment. The script is like followings: from modeller import * from modeller.scripts import complete_pdb import sys import modeller.salign log.verbose() env = environ() env.libs.topology.read(file='$(LIB)/top_heav.lib') env.libs.parameters.read(file='$(LIB)/par.lib') env.io.atom_files_directory = './' if len(sys.argv) != 5: print "Usage: superpose_pdbs.py code1 chain1 code2 chain2" sys.exit(1) code1,chain1,code2,chain2 = sys.argv[1:] file1 = code1+'.pdb' file2 = code2+'.pdb' aln = alignment(env) mdl1 = complete_pdb(env,file1,model_segment=('FIRST:'+chain1,'LAST:'+chain1)) mdl1.chains.name = chain1 mdl1.write(file=code1+'_'+chain1+'_complete.pdb',model_format='PDB') mdl2 = complete_pdb(env,file2,model_segment=('FIRST:'+chain2,'LAST:'+chain2)) mdl2.chains.name = chain2 mdl2.write(file=code2+'_'+chain2+'_complete.pdb',model_format='PDB') aln.append_model(mdl1,atom_files=file1,align_codes=code1+chain1) aln.append_model(mdl2,atom_files=file2,align_codes=code2+chain2) modeller.salign.iterative_structural_align(aln) #for (weights, write_fit, whole) in (((1., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0.), False, True), # ((1., 0.5, 1., 1., 1., 0.), False, True), # ((1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 0.), True, False)): # aln.salign(rms_cutoff=3.5, normalize_pp_scores=False, # rr_file='$(LIB)/as1.sim.mat', overhang=30, # gap_penalties_1d=(-450, -50), # gap_penalties_3d=(0, 3), gap_gap_score=0, gap_residue_score=0, # alignment_type='PAIRWISE', # If 'progresive', the tree is not # # computed and all structues will be # # aligned sequentially to the first # feature_weights=weights, # For a multiple sequence alignment only # # the first feature needs to be non-zero # improve_alignment=True, fit=True, write_fit=write_fit, # write_whole_pdb=whole, output='ALIGNMENT QUALITY') aln.write(file=code1+chain1+'_'+code2+chain2+'.ali',alignment_format='PIR') atmsel = selection(mdl1).only_atom_types('CA') r = atmsel.superpose(mdl2,aln) mdl2.write(file=code2+'_'+chain2+'_complete.pdb',model_format='PDB') When I used three iterative cycles of 'salign' above (commented) I could successfully run the script. But when I replaced it to 'modeller.salign.iterative_structural_align(aln), I had error message like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "clean_pdb.sh", line 33, in ? modeller.salign.iterative_structural_align(aln) File "/Library/modeller-9v7/modlib/modeller/salign.py", line 122, in iterative_structural_align aln.append(file=opfile) File "/Library/modeller-9v7/modlib/modeller/alignment.py", line 79, in append allow_alternates) IOError: openf______E> Cannot open file /var/folders/nx/nx+3eBsLGB4bYzOn5I3FjE+++TY/-Tmp-/tmp4FqRw9/salign_local_mid.ali: No such file or directory Could you please let me know what I did wrong with this? Thanks, Best regards, Seungyeul Yoo

Re: [modeller_usage] modeller_usage Digest, Vol 10, Issue 37

Hi Benn, Check it out. I want to consider maximal/average occupancy of a residue at a position to select the better possible residue conformation, augmenting the overall accuracy of the model. Tell me a way to consider all templates in a script, develop iterative optimal alignment based only on sequence, i.e. without your RMS or cutoff thresholds for superimpositions. This alignment considers maximal propensity of a residue at every location, among available residues of considered templates, and put gaps for others at same locus in the alignment file for other templates.

Regarding Iterative Sequence Alignment
by Ashish Runthala 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Dear Modellers, I want to generate iterative sequence alignment of Templates before being integrated with the target sequence. How to use salign for optimal iterative alignment only based on sequences, with no consideration of overhang folds.

how seed influence the Modeller results?
by albert 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Hi: I've got a question about how seed influence the Modeller results? If I start from the same seed in the same computer, does it means it should get the same results? If two job both start from random seed or different seeds, they will get different results, and those results is comparable with running model building jobs with doubled model number building? THX
