secondary structure display
by gowthaman ramasamy 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

hello list, This is not a Modeller related question, so bear with me. But I wonder if some one knows about this. I would like to display the secondary structure of a protein models graphically along with their sequence (as seen in RCSB's pdb summary page). does any one know of some stand alone software which does it. many thanks in advance gowtham -- Ra.

READ_MODEL error: MODEL atom not classified
by Sascha Tayefeh 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Dear community, I am trying to get warm with modeller-usage by checking out the official manual's examples. For some reason, the READ_MODEL command does not work. Here's my input/output: *************** INPUT ************************** READ_TOPOLOGY FILE = '/soft/modeller6v2/modlib/top.lib', TOPOLOGY_MODEL = 3 READ_PARAMETERS FILE = '/soft/modeller6v2/modlib/par.lib' READ_MODEL FILE = '1P7B' *************** OUTPUT ************************** iatmcls_286W> MODEL atom not classified: VAL:OT1 VAL iatmcls_286W> MODEL atom not classified: VAL:OT1 VAL Using different pdbs (eg. manual's suggested 1fas), I get the same error with different residues. *************** OUTPUT ************************** iatmcls_286W> MODEL atom not classified: TYR:OT1 TYR iatmcls_286W> MODEL atom not classified: TYR:OT2 TYR I have checked the pdbs for OT1 - there is simply no such entry, so: what's the problem? Also, I have tried modeller on different platforms (linux, irix etc). Thanx for any help in advance S. Tayefeh (Grad. Stud.) Technical University Darmstadt Dept. of Phys. Chemistry Germany

B-factor column after Loop refinement in v6
by Bissan Al-Lazikani,(4627) 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

Hi I have followed the loop refinement script given in the on-line manual, but all the atoms in all generated models have "999.99" in the B-factor column- instead of a useful score To make sure it was nothing wrong with my input, I built models using the alignment and top file examples given in the online manual but I get the same behaviour. The initial model (pre-loop refinement) is fine. What am I doing wrong?

possibility of usage of two force feild at a time for a model building
by Nataraj Balkrishnan 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

Dear modellers, I modelled protein using modeller to get initial models,after evaluating, I made correction in models using the SPDBV Software,since it gives visulization option for interactive adjustment of the model. Now my question is # Is it theoreticaly correct to adopt differnet force feild for Energy minimization at various stage of the model building methadology ?(As I produced my initial model in modeller where the optimization used the CHARMM force field,but in SPDBV implements GROMOS96 as force filed. So I did energy minimization of the model in SPDBV for some sterochemical adustment made in the modeled structure.)

regarding chain identifiers ...
by gowthaman ramasamy 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

sorry to bother u with this simple question ... I use following top script to extract sequences from pdb file '1PFZ'. works fine. But it reads all the different chain (A,B,C ..etc). what should i do if i want to get only sequence of chain A. read_model FILE = '1PFZ', sequence_to_ali atom_files = '1PFZ', align_codes = 'gowtham' write_alignment file='seq.pir' I tried the following and did not work read_model FILE = '1PFZ',MODEL_SEGMENT = '@:A' 'X:A' #this works but writes only a chain break and * (/*) as a third line in output file 'seq.pir' many thanks in advance .... i could not get answer from list archives. i am sorry to bother you guys. -- Ra.

some questions..
by Your Name 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

Hi Ben! I'm Matthias , i wonna know whether its possible or not, to generate a part of the model with 'gererate_xyz' and the other part with 'transfer_xyz' ROUTINES? I suggest it's could be possible with model-segment, but i haven't tryied jet.. Further, I can't understand why this BIG.top file doesn't work (I think i' gonna have to add a READ ALIGNMENT, but where? Thxs for awhile, Matthias

model a tetramer with Modeller
by lgan＠smail.uni-koeln.de 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

Hi, everyone, I'm trying to model a tetramer with modeller. It seems that a simple automatic run works well. The strange problem I met is that the output structure is less symmetric than the input structure. Does somebody have experience with such kind of problem? Thanks in advance! lgan

Superposition of many model segments
by Toni Hermoso Pulido 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

Hello, I'm trying to superpose two model structures in order to get a RMS value using more than one segment for each structure. For exemple for model1 = '342:A' '343:A' and '348:A' '349:A' and for model2 = '1:' '2:' and '6:' '7:'. Is it possible to do with Modeller SUPERPOSE subroutine?

Fwd: problem reading alignment file

Hi everybody, thanks for all the suggestions how to solve my problem with reading an alignment file (see below). The solution was to remove all spaces from the alignment!
