Preparing input files
by Daniel Fernandez 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hi, I think I will start with a more basic question. I am new to modeller and bioinformatics in general. If I have a target protein, i.e., 1ahoa protein I want to model, how can I prepare the input files (i.e. alignment and template files) for that protein??? any suggestions? tutorials or read about this? the modeller tutorial assumes one knows how to prepare the files to be read by modeller, and I actually don't know that part. Any advise would be strongly appreciated.

Tethering
by abdullah ahmed 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Dear Modeller users, I would like to ask if there is a function that causes "tethering" or "atom fixing" during optimization in modeller (i.e. is there a function that forces the molecule to remain close to it's original PDB during optimization?) If so, is there a way to turn it off?

Side chain dihedral angles
by abdullah ahmed 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Dear Modeller users, I wanted to asked if there is a way to restrain the side-chain dihedrals to angles of my choosing. If so could you please provide a brief sample code of how to do it?

side-chain restraints
by abdullah ahmed 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Dear Modeller users, I have two proteins with interacting side chains. I would like to make distance restraints between their Glutamine atoms to ensure that they are a fixed distance apart. To do so I used the following code during optimization: mdl.restraints.add(forms.upper_bound(group=physical.sd_sd_distance, feature=features.distance(a['HE21:2:A'], a['OE1:24:B']), mean=1.9, stdev=0.3)) However, no change has been made to these atoms in the optimized PDB file. Furthermore, the log file shows that all 72 restraints of this type that were applied have violations. It looks as though the program has noted that restraints need to be made, but then does nothing to make these restraints. The only other restraints are: mdl.restraints.make(atmsel, restraint_type='stereo', spline_on_site=False) Thank you in advance for your help, Abdullah Ahmed _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail: Your friends can get your Facebook updates, right from Hotmail®. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/so…

Weights of restraints
by abdullah ahmed 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Dear Modeller users, Is there a way to give preference to (or up-weight) one set of restraints over another? I have made distance restraints (group=physical.xy_distance) as well as "restraint_type = stereo" and would like for the distance restraints to be satisfied even if they cause violations of the "stereo" restraints.

Re: [modeller_usage] special restrains for aromatic packing interactions
by Thomas Evangelidis 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Is it possible to set the distance cutoff between a given atom of the protein and a subset of atoms in the ligand? E.g. in some crystal structures OG1 of a THR forms an H-bond with O1A of ATP, whereas in others with O2A. In that case can I force Modeller to keep (THR44:OG1 - ATP266:O1A <= 3.5+-0.1) OR (THR44:OG1 - ATP266:O2A <= 3.5+-0.1) ? 2010/3/24 Modeller Caretaker <modeller-care(a)salilab.org> > On 03/23/2010 08:46 AM, Thomas Evangelidis wrote: > >> Since the phosphate groups of ATP are forced to lie within 3.5 A. from >> the binding site residues, the Tyrosine ring will be in close proximity >> to the Adenine ring.

energy units
by abdullah ahmed 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Dear Modeller users, I have a question related to the calculation of energy during optimization. What are the units (Joules/calories/ Kilo joules etc?) of the energy calculated? (The "current energy" value in the log-file, for example, is a number. I'd like to know the units that correspond to it) Thanks in advance!

error in using mutate_model
by Anna Marabotti 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hallo, I tried to model a mutant of a protein using the mutate_model.py script available in the Wiki section of MODELLER site at: http://www.salilab.org/modeller/wiki/Mutate%20model. Therefore, after copying the script on a executable file, I opened the black window to launch Modeller commands and typed, as suggested: python mutate_model.py my_modelname my_respos my_resname my_chain > my_log.log but obtained the error: "python is not recognized as internal and/or external command, or as an executable, or as a batch file" despite I have Python installed on my PC. I also tried to launch the command without "python" and typed: mutate_model.py my_modelname my_respos my_resname my_chain > my_log.log and this time the error was: File "C:\Programmi\Modeller9v7\mutate_model.py", line 4, in <module> from modeller import * File "C:\Programmi\Modeller9v7\modlib\modeller\__init__.py", line 69, in <module> import _modeller ImportError: No module named _modeller The program ends without writing the .log file. I used this script with the previous versions of Modeller, on the same PC, without any problem. It's the first time I use this script since I installed Mod9v7 on my PC, but I've already used Modeller 9v7 on the same PC without problems. Could anybody suggest me how to do? Many thanks in advance and best regards Anna ____________________________________________________ Anna Marabotti, Ph.D. Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Institute of Food Science, CNR Via Roma, 64 83100 Avellino (Italy) Phone: +39 0825 299651 Fax: +39 0825 781585 Email: anna.marabotti(a)isa.cnr.it Skype account: annam1972 Web page: http://bioinformatica.isa.cnr.it/anna/anna.htm "If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito"

Dear: I try to make mutation model by this scrips: http://salilab.org/modeller/wiki/Mutate%20model When I typed command in terminal: py2 1-nh-active.pdb 97 VAL A>mute-native.log It is said: ATOM 1 CB THR A 1 57.352 108.506 46.727 1.00 21.29 A ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I don't know where is the mistake. Thank you very much.
