Syntax of Restraints Commands
by Seth Tanner 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Dear Modeller Community, I would like to ask how the unexpleained parameters affect the restraining process in restraints.make() and restraints.make_distance() commands The manual is very good but I cannot see that this is fully explained. Also, as a person who is using MODELLER homology modelling the first time, I would like to ask what types of restraints I should use at the beginning. I thought of using sterics first, and then try distance restraints. For the distance restraints I thought of generating two 'same' selections including CA atom of the first, middle and the last residues within each secondary structure. Then one can use both of these two selections to generate a ( n x n ) distance matrix to train the homology model. How do you think that this sounds? Any other ideas for distance restraints? FOR REFERENCE: p.92 make(atmsel, restraint type, spline on site, residue span range=(0, 99999), residue span sign=True, restraint sel atoms=1, basis pdf weight=’LOCAL’, basis relative weight=0.05, intersegment=True, dih lib only=False, spline dx=0.5, spline min points=5, spline range=4.0, mnch lib=1, accessibility type=8, surftyp=1, distngh=6.0, aln=None, edat=None, io=None) p.95 make distance(atmsel1, atmsel2, aln, spline on site, restraint group, maximal distance, residue span range=(0, 99999), residue span sign=True, distance rsr model=1, basis pdf weight=’LOCAL’, basis relative weight=0.05, spline dx=0.5, spline min points=5, spline range=4.0, accessibility type=8, restraint stdev=(0.1, 1.0), restraint stdev2=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), surftyp=1, distngh=6.0, edat=None, io=None, exclude distance=0.0)

Hi all, I would like to know what is the percentage of amino acids that has to lie in the favoured region (only favoured region) in ramachandran plot after modeling the protein. thanks Sankari ThirumalMolecular Biology and Microbiology Reputation is something that you crave when you do not have it; When you have it, you tend to detest it.

Dear Modellers, I was wondering how the Salign actually integrate the target sequence data to the structural profile with computed max quality for considered set of templates. Thanks, Ashish

mercury ions ignored by model.write_data()
by Yingjie Lin 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi All, I found that model.write_data() ignores mercury ions (HG) when writing .ngh files (e.g. 1AVN.pdb, 1OKM.pdb). It also ignores UNX (UNKNOWN ATOM OR ION), in which case I understand. I checked whether mercury ions are ignored because it's not in modeller-9v8/modlib/restyp.lib, but I don't think so because LI1 (in 2I21.pdb) and DOD (in 1CQ2.pdb) are not ignored. Is there a reason why mercury ions should be ignored? Are there any other specific records that model.write_data() will ignore? Thank you! - Yingjie

loop modeling parallel-queue
by David Rodríguez 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi, Let's suppose we are sending a protein to refine four of its loops, eight repeats (32 loops). If I spawn eight Slaves (job().append()), a single model is sent to each slave and each slave compute the four loops. Now suppose we are sending the same protein, to refine four of its loops just one time (4 loop). Spawning the same eight Slaves, the model is sent to just one Slave, and that slave compute all of the four loops alone (i.e. modeller is not parallelizing). My question is: is there any difference between a) sending the eight jobs from within the modeller script or b) sending one job after another to a third queue software initializing the enviroment with env = environ(0 - random.randrange(2, 50000)) #A different random seed each time. or is modeller taking into account previous results?

Loop modeling while restraining the secondary structure
by bharat lal 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, Thanks for the help regrading model-loop-define.py script. I have one doubt in model selection .. The number of residues that has to be mentioned for restraining should according to the target sequence only know ?? .. Also, I generated some 5 models while restraining some portion of the sequence as beta strands and after seeing all the structures I found that its model 3 that is having perfectly restrained beta sheets as compared to others but its DOPE score is more as compared to other structures . In this type of situation how do we have to select the correct model ?? Here's the list of energies that I got : >> Summary of successfully produced models:Filename molpdf DOPE score GA341 score----------------------------------------------------------------------target.B99990001.pdb 1552.05176 -25341.12891 1.00000target.B99990002.pdb 1485.22974 -25387.23438 1.00000target.B99990003.pdb 1559.28723 -25382.83984 1.00000 (perfectly restrained str.)target.B99990004.pdb 1483.82568 -25213.86523 1.00000target.B99990005.pdb 1402.83508 -25525.49023 1.00000 Also, I would like to ask one more thing about restraining structure that while giving the residue range generally last 2 or some times 1 residue/s doesnot retain the restrained structure .. In that case what do i need to do ?? After doing the restrained modeling is it required to do loop refinement .. as I am doing loop refinement also by generating some 50 structures and then finally selecting the one with low DOPE score .. Is this strategy right or wrong ?? -------------- Bharat

how satisfactory relative orientation of modeled domains can be achieved in two matches cases
by Maria Persico 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hello, I am exploring ModBase to build a model for the REcQ2 of arabidopsis Thaliana(swiss prot acc: Q9FT73). ModBase found 2 structures matching this target and after downloading the coordinates file and also the showfile.chimerax file, I was able to visualize with chimera both structures with apparently a satisfactory relative orientation. Below I copy-paste the target coverage: 2v1xA (63-592) crystal structure of human recq-like dna helicase 1wudA (531-602) e. coli recq hrdc domain I wanted to know if there is an optimization step in the ModBase pipeline to achieve this and if it is referenced somewhere....and if not, which modules-scripts are available?
