Hi, I'm modelling a homopentamer using two templates.
I want the five subunits of my model to be as much symmetrical as possible.
So, I'm using the symmetry constrains that I found in the manual. The example script was built for a homodimer, so I adapted it to my homopentamer. I also included the indications to rename the chains and renumber the residues.
However, the models I obtain show important structural differences between the different chains. I can see those differences visually and also when I plot the DOPE profiles of the five chains.
I want to know if there is any mistake in my script, or something that I could add to it, in order to improving my results. 
Thank you in advance fot you help,
Iván Felsztyna
