Dear Sir, No need to manual compilation of pooling of models in single PDB file. You can use linux with a simple bash script. cat *.pdb > Single.pdb Then you may end MODEL and ENDMDL manually or you can also write a for loop to automatically append these strings on ends of every single PDB file called.

If you really mean you want to make a single PDB file containing multiple models (which the PDB format allows, with a MODEL record at the start of each model and an ENDMDL record at the end) then you can't do that with MODELLER, for any number of models (10 or otherwise). The models produced by MODELLER are each in their own PDB file. If you simply want to make more than 10 models, each in a *different* PDB file, then go with Mensur's suggestions. If you really want a single PDB file containing multiple models, you will have to first produce multiple PDB files, then stick them together manually, inserting MODEL and ENDMDL records, either with a text editor or with some simple scripting.

The Modeller objective function is simply a measure of how many restraints were violated in building your model. While the score could be thought of roughly as an "energy" (not free energy) this is certainly not a rigorous measure of model quality. Use an assessment function such as normalized DOPE for this purpose. > Let's say I want to make cutoff -100 for the objective function.

Homology Modeling of the Loop
by Alexander Predeus 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello all, I'm very much a beginner at modeling, and this question might be very trivial. I hope you still would hint me about the answer, for it would help me a lot. I have a large protein (say 1500 residues, let's call it protein A) and its homologue (protein B) of about the same size. Both proteins have published crystal structures. Both proteins have a key structural element, loop L. The loop is poorly resolved in structure A, but well resolved in homologous structure B. Now, I can take just the L loop regions as separate PDB files from both A and B and do homology modeling of A based on B; this works really well. But I also would like the model to consider the surroundings (the rest of the structure) when evaluating the energies. Thus, I'd like to keep the REST of A's crystal structure intact, and only model loop L based on the structure of the same region in protein B. How can I achieve that? Thank you in advance! - Alex Predeus Michigan State University

automodel.max_molpdf recommended values and usage format
by Andrew Voronkov 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Dear Modeller users, how on your opinion modeller objective function correlates with quality of the models. For example I have objective function value 1730 for one modelk and -750 which as I understand reflects free energy. Does it mean that I shouldn t consider the first one at all? Let's say I want to make cutoff -100 for the objective function. In which format it should be done? automodel.max_molpdf -100 is that correct? Sincerely yours, Andrey

Dear Alex, It is pretty simple. Simplest way is to make the alignment file with your loop region well aligned to corresponding chunk in structure B and for other residues, put gap in your alignment file for structure A, corresponding to respective additional residues in structure B. You may use the PRALINE alignment to do it and pipeline that to MODELLER. There is one more way too to consider the environmental effects on structural topology of A as per the structure B.

Now, I can take just the L loop regions as separate PDB files from both A and B and do homology modeling of A based on B; this works really well. But I also would like the model to consider the surroundings (the rest of the structure) when evaluating the energies. Thus, I'd like to keep the REST of A's crystal structure intact, and only model loop L based on the structure of the same region in protein B. How can I achieve that? Thank you in advance! - Alex Predeus Michigan State University
