_modeller.ModellerError: getpdf__389E> MDT table range is too small. MDT should be derived with the full range of possible values for the independent variables.
by Rana Rehan Khalid 29 Apr '24

Dear Modeller Users, I am currently attempting to generate various mutant models using the MutantBuilder script available at https://github.com/eved1018/MutantBuilder. I have installed Modeller10.5 for this purpose. However, I am encountering the following issue: python3 MutantBuilder.py -pdb complex.pdb -c B Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rehan/Downloads/MutantBuilder-master/MutantBuilder.py", line 372, in <module> main() File "/home/rehan/Downloads/MutantBuilder-master/MutantBuilder.py", line 368, in main model(pdb, mutants, chain, mutant_name, outfolder) File "/home/rehan/Downloads/MutantBuilder-master/MutantBuilder.py", line 188, in HomologyModel mutant_pdb = autoModelPDB(pdb, aln ) File "/home/rehan/Downloads/MutantBuilder-master/MutantBuilder.py", line 204, in autoModelPDB a.make() File "/home/rehan/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 141, in make self.homcsr(exit_stage) File "/home/rehan/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 638, in homcsr self.mkhomcsr(Selection(self), aln) File "/home/rehan/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 716, in mkhomcsr self.build_charmm_restraints(atmsel, rsr, aln) File "/home/rehan/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 678, in build_charmm_restraints rsr.make(atmsel, aln=aln, restraint_type=type+'_dihedral', File "/home/rehan/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/modeller/restraints.py", line 156, in make return func(self.__mdl.modpt, edat.modpt, aln.modpt, io.modpt, _modeller.ModellerError: getpdf__389E> MDT table range is too small.

Hello All The script below exceeds molpdf limits immediately when run this automodel job on parallel, but run starts with a low molpdf and ends well when commenting the line "a.use_parallel_job(j)" Any hint of how to solve will be appreciate? Mario from modelito import MyModel from modeller.parallel import * icycle=50 log.minimal() # request minimal output env = Environ() # create a new MODELLER environment to build this model in icycle=str(int(icycle)+1) # directories for input atom files env.io.atom_files_directory = ['.', 'trajs/'] # Give less weight to all soft-sphere restraints: env.schedule_scale = physical.values(default=1.0, soft_sphere=0.7) # Very thorough VTFM optimization: j = Job() for i in range(1): j.append(local_slave()) # Comparative modeling by the AutoModel class env.io.hetatm=True a = MyModel(env, alnfile = 'test.ali', # alignment filename knowns = ('ro','odo'), # codes of the templates sequence = 'TEST') # code of the target a.starting_model= int(icycle) # index of the first model a.ending_model = int(icycle)+ 0 # index of the last model # (determines how many models to calculate) a.library_schedule = autosched.slow #a.restraints.write(file='restraints.rsr') # Thorough MD optimization: a.md_level = refine.slow # Repeat the whole cycle 2 times and do not stop unless obj.func. > 1E6 a.use_parallel_job(j) a.repeat_optimization = 3 a.max_molpdf = 1e6 a.make() # do the actual comparative modeling

It is trying to print the start of the Modeller log file, which has information on the Modeller version and environment. Position 957 is about where your computer name is. We assume that name is valid ASCII or UTF8 (and nobody's reported this error before!) but I suppose it doesn't have to be, particularly in non-Western locales. We'll fix this issue for the next Modeller release. In the meantime you could work around it in one of two ways: 1. Change your computer name in Control Panel to something containing only plain ASCII (e.g. try "XXX") and reboot. or 2. Edit logger.py in your Modeller installation, i.e. D:\conda\Library\modeller\modlib\modeller\util\logger.py and change line 8 from _header = _modeller.mod_header_get() to _header = ' ' Ben Webb, Modeller Caretaker -- modeller-care(a)salilab.org https://salilab.org/modeller/ Modeller mail list: https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/modeller_usage

About the error ( UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode)form logger.py
by c00jsw00＠kmu.edu.tw 15 Apr '24

Dear all, When I use conda to install modller 10.4 or 10.5, I used the python (3.9) to run a simple command (from modeller import *). Then I got the error (UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode...) . Could you tell me how to overcome it ? THX YT

Perodic boundary condition?
by Qizan Chen 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Can the Modeller take periodic boundary conditions into account during modeling? I aim to construct a condensed model, but currently, unwarping the protein to the Modeller and then warping it back leads to incorrect overlaps of side chains. I noticed that symmetry constraints can be added, but my original system is already large, and adding additional images causes crashes.

Error identifying new atomtypes in $RADII_LIB while adding new residue into modeller topology library
by Neeraj Kumar T . 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

I've been trying to add a new residue's (ligand) topology and parameters into modeller library to model accurately. I am following the steps in modeller's FAQ #8: https://salilab.org/modeller/FAQ.html#8. After adding the topology into a copy of "top_heav.lib", and parameters into a copy of "par.lib", and also into copies of "radii.lib" and "solv.lib", I still get errors. This is the initial script I used: ------------------ [image: image.png] -------------------- The above script gives error in the 5th command-line as follows: ------------------------------ *ERROR Case-1:* >>> env.libs.parameters.append(file='$(LIB)/radii_edited.lib') read_pa_233E> No keyword before contents. Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/modeller/parameters.py", line 25, in append return _modeller.mod_parameters_read(self._modpt, self.__libs.modpt, _modeller.ModellerError: read_pa_233E> No keyword before contents. >>> ------------------------------- Therefore, I deleted command-lines 5&6, and executed the following script. ----------------------------- [image: image.png] ---------------------------------- And executing the above script gave the following error for the 5th command-line: -------------------------------------- *ERROR Case-2:* >>> env.libs.topology.read(file='$(LIB)/top_heav_edited.lib') read_to_681_> topology.submodel read from topology file: 3 read_to_231E> CHARMM atom type is not recognized (not in RADII_LIB): CG2D1O Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/modeller/topology.py", line 23, in read return self.append(file) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/modeller/topology.py", line 28, in append return _modeller.mod_topology_read(self._modpt, self.__libs.modpt, _modeller.ModellerError: read_to_231E> CHARMM atom type is not recognized (not in RADII_LIB): CG2D1O -------------------------------- This happens inspite of the fact that I have added the radii of new atomtypes into "radii.lib" file itself, and not in the copy "radii_edited.lib", as follows: [image: image.png]

Modelling based on two templates - one oligomer and one monomer
by hmad3＠cam.ac.uk 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hello, I am trying to model a multichain protein using 2 templates - the .pdb file of an oligomer (with the same number of chains as the target) and the .pdb file of the AlphaFold structure of one of the monomers making up the target protein. (When I model using only the oligomer as target, the model of the target looks quite "off".) First scenario: * target protein: 5 of the same chain * template protein 1 ("base template"): a homopentamer * template protein 2 ("sub-template" - i.e. the target protein is first modelled based on the first template then modelled based on the 2nd template): the AF predicted structure of one chain of the target protein (the .pdb file has only one chain). Second scenario: * target protein: a heteropentamer - 2 of one chain + 3 of another chain * template protein 1: as in the previous scenario * template protein 2 (+3): AF predicted structures of the two chains making up the target heteropentamer. There are 2 AF folds, one for each monomer, each one with a single chain. How would I format the alignment file? I look forward to your guidance. Kind regards, Amanda

Alignment to use when I am modelling a heteromer using a homer as template
by hmad3＠cam.ac.uk 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hello, I am currently modelling a heteromeric protein using a homomeric protein as a template, as follows: - heteromer subunits (target): 2 x aaaaaaaa + bbbbbbbbb - homomer subunits (template): 3 x cccccccccc When aligning the monomer sequences to be used in the .ali file, should I align aaaaaaaa and cccccccccc separately, then bbbbbbbbb and cccccccccc and use the sequences generated in the FASTA file of each alignment in the .ali file -- or should I align all three sequences at once and use the sequences in the FASTA file in the .ali file? (In the first case, there would be two FASTA files and "cccccccccc" would be aligned differently, and both alignments of cccccccccc would be used in the .ali file. In the second case, there would be one FASTA file.) I look forward to your response. Kind regards, Amanda

I don't want to use one region of a *target* for construction of my model.
by hmad3＠cam.ac.uk 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

Hello, I am modelling a pentameric protein based on a template with missing residues, e.g. aaaaabbbbbdddddeeeee (except the original protein sequence has "ccccc" corresponding to a long disordered region between the "b" and "d", but this is not modelled, hence the FASTA of the protein looks like the above, and the .pdb file and 3D model of the protein would show "missing residues" between "b" and "d") The original sequence of the target protein is: fffffggggghhhhhiiiiijjjjj except "iiiii" is a disordered region which aligns with "ccccc" in the template. If I remove "iiiii" from the sequence before aligning with the above template sequence (without the disordered region), "h" and "j" will be interpreted as continuous in the .pdb file of the target generated, affecting the structure of the protein. How would I make PDB interpret a gap between "h" and "j" that aligns with the gap between "b" and "d" in the template? With thanks and kind regards, Amanda

Modeller 10.5 release
by Modeller Caretaker 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

A new version of Modeller, 10.5, is now available for download! Please see the download page at https://salilab.org/modeller/ for more information. If you have a license key for Modeller 9 or 10, there is no need to reregister for Modeller 10.5 - the same license key will work. (It won't do any harm to reregister if you want to, though!) 10.5 is a minor update that adds support for Python 3.12, improves the mmCIF output, and adds initial support for new-style 12-character PDB IDs. If you encounter bugs in Modeller 10.5, please see https://salilab.org/modeller/10.5/manual/node10.html for information on how to report them. Note: you are receiving this email either because you subscribed to the modeller_usage mailing list, or you provided this address when you requested a Modeller license and you ticked the "notify me of new releases" box. In the latter case, if you no longer wish to receive announcements of new Modeller releases, simply unsubscribe from the modeller_announce mailing list, or reply to this email and let us know.
