B value
by Sanger 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Dear friends, I have some questions about the B value, generated from the Modeller along with the homology model. I am not sure how the temperature factor (Beta) is calculated (by MD simulation?). Since many homology modeling program didn't supply the information of B value, or just used it as a temporary space to fill up data, I am curious how serious the Modeller deals with it? Is it a proper data to estimate the flexibility of residues? Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreicated.

error in using a simulated structure as template.
by Bala subramanian 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Friends, I am a newbie to modeller. I have the structure of a protein obtained from MD simulation (total 339 residues). I have another sequences of unknown structure ( total 345 residues). I want to model the structure of the later by using the simulated structure as template. I first aligned the two sequences with clustwal and made the .ali file (pasted below) . The modeller script i used is attached. Kindly write me what is going wrong ? *The following is the ali file.* >P1; temp structureM:temp:1 :A:339 :A :::: VVLENVTEHFNMWKNDMVEQMQEDIISLWDQSLKPCVKLTPLCVGAGSCDTSVITQACPK ISFEPIPIHYCAPAGFAILKCNDKTFNGKGPCKNVSTVQCTHGIRPVVSTQLLLNGSLAE EEVVIRSDNFTNNAKTIIVQLKESVEINCTRPNQNTRKSIHI--GPGRAFYTTGEIIGDI RQAHCNISRAKWNDTLKQIVIKLREQF-ENKTIVFNHSSGGDPEIVMHSFNCGGEFFYCN SAQLFNSTWNN---NTEGSNNTEG-NTITLPCRIKQIINMWQEVGKAMYAPPIRGQIRCS SNITGLLLTRDGGINENGTEIFRPGGGDMRDNWRSELYKYKVVKIE* >P1; targ sequence:targ:::::::: VVLVNVTENFNMWKNDMVEQMHEDIISLWDQSLKPCVKLTPLCVGAGSCNTSVITQACPK VSFEPIPIHYCAPAGFAILKCNNKTFNGTGPCTNVSTVQCTHGIRPVVSTQLLLNGSLAE EEVVIRSANFTDNAKTIIVQLNQSVEINCTRPNNNTRKSIRIQRGPGRAFVTIGK-IGNM RQAHCNISRAKWNATLKQIASKLREQFGNNKTIIFKQSSGGDPEIVTHSFNCGGEFFYCN STQLFNSTWFNSTWSTEGSNNTEGSDTITLPCRIKQFINMWQEVGKAMYAPPISGQIRCS SNITGLLLTRDGGNNNNGSEIFRPGGGDMRDNWRSELYKYKVVKIE* *I get the following error when i run the command mod9v8 model.py* 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "model.py", line 11, in ? a.make() File "/apps/modeller/9v8//modlib/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 98, in make self.homcsr(exit_stage) File "/apps/modeller/9v8//modlib/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 424, in homcsr self.check_alignment(aln) File "/apps/modeller/9v8//modlib/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 406, in check_alignment aln.check() File "/apps/modeller/9v8//modlib/modeller/alignment.py", line 200, in check self.check_structure_structure(io=io) File "/apps/modeller/9v8//modlib/modeller/alignment.py", line 209, in check_structure_structure return f(self.modpt, io.modpt, self.env.libs.modpt, eqvdst) _modeller.SequenceMismatchError: read_te_291E> Sequence difference between alignment and pdb : Thanks, Bala

Re: [modeller_usage] Downloads in an Intel core i7 system
by Esben Jannik Bjerrum 27 Apr '11

Hi David What Linux system are you using? Ubuntu or other debian based? The hint about using alien suggests so. alien is a tool that tries to convert rpm packages to deb packages before installation on debian based systems. Success is however not guaranteed. If its correct that you are using e.g. ubuntu try to use alien first, then install the generated .deb package. Best Regards Esben

Dear Modeller Enthusiasts, I am trying to download Modeller to an Intel core i7 system for use with multiple CPUs. I am using the command suggested at the installation website: "rpm -Uvh modeller-9.9-1.x86_64.rpm". Then I get the following: =========================== rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead! rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing... error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sed is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 glib2 >= 2.2.0 is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 /bin/sh is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 /usr/bin/python is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libm.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libm.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libpthread.so.0()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libutil.so.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libutil.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 =============================== I do know that /bin/sed, /bin/sh and /usr/bin/python are all downloaded in my system.

modelling coordinate of missing residues
by Sangita Kachhap 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hello all I have a pdb file and coordinate of 13 amino acid (N-terminal arm)are missing in this pdb file. Is it possible to generate coordinte of these missing residue? I have a pdb file of other protein of same family in this pdb file N-terminus is random coil and turn and in my query pdb N-terminus is random coil and 3-10 helix. I have predicted the secondary structure for missing residues they are random coil and sequence identity is of query with template except N-terminal is 68%. So is it possible to model a protein of query sequence using above mension known pdb file? Sangita Kachhap JRF BIC,IMTECH CHANDIGARH

Regarding Salign Alignment
by Ashish Runthala 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Dear Modellers, I am facing a small problem. Alignments are not coming the way i expect. Is there any way that when i change the alignments to be glocal based on BLOSUM80 scores. It first do local and then proceed for optimum global alignments. I AM MESSED UP WITH SHIFTED ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. Thanks, Ashish Ashish Runthala, Lecturer, Structural Biology Cell, Biological Sciences Group, BITS, Pilani Rajasthan, INDIA

reading MRC origin coordinates in modeller and FLEX-EM
by dmitry lyumkis 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Dear all, My question has to do with the way in which modeller / flex-em reads the coordinates of mrc maps and/or pdb files. I'm trying to use flex- em and have a PDB file fitted to a map with the following properties: boxsize = 144 pixelsize = 2.18 origin = -72, -72, -72 in pixels (or -156.96, -156.96, -156.96 in Angstroms) When I input either of the NEGATIVE values into the flex-em.py script, the program stalls while reading the model. When I input the coordinates in POSITIVE Angstroms, i.e. 156.96, 156.96, 156.96, (which is what is specified in flex-em.py), I receive an error: "Atom 1 has out-of-range coordinates (usually infinity). The objective function can thus not be calculated", line 38 in conjugate gradients.py. When I input the coordinates in positive pixels, i.e. 72,72,72, the program seems to work fine, but translates the subsequent PDB files by a large amount that I cannot understand (i.e., NOT values of 72 or ~157). Finally, I tried changing the coordinate system of the map to 0,0,0, then saving the PDB file accordingly, and that seemed to work. Do I have to specify a 0,0,0 coordinate system every time, or is there an easier way around this issue?

Regarding alignment
by Ashish Runthala 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Dear MODELLERS, MODELLER doesn't incorporate MSP based alignment consideration. I have two queries. 1. How to make MODELLER consider HSP to be extended on either side to generate. 2. How to generate a profile based best structural alignment of all considered templates against the target sequence. Thanks Ashish Ashish Runthala, Lecturer, Structural Biology Cell, Biological Sciences Group, BITS, Pilani Rajasthan, INDIA
