Hi,

I had two quick questions: I was wondering whether the model returned by MODELLER changes when the template is a backbone trace, in contrast to when it is the full structure with sidechains.

Also, in general, is there any advantage of building the sidechains of the homology model, after running MODELLER, with a tool such as MAXSPROUT (which uses a rotamer library to construct the sidechains)?

Thanks,
