Hello Ben thank you for your kind update:).

In my case which tutorial should I follow for this loop refinement:

1.)  

Modeling with cryo-EM


Step 7: Refine models with loop modeling

or,

2.) 

Loop refining

The loop optimization method relies on a scoring function and optimization schedule adapted for loop modeling. It is used automatically to refine comparative models if you use the LoopModel class rather than AutoModel; see the example below.
# Loop refinement of an existing model
from modeller import *
from modeller.automodel import *

log.verbose()
env = Environ()

# directories for input atom files
env.io.atom_files_directory = ['.', '../atom_files']

# Create a new class based on 'LoopModel' so that we can redefine
# select_loop_atoms (necessary)
class MyLoop(LoopModel):
    # This routine picks the residues to be refined by loop modeling
    def select_loop_atoms(self):
        # 10 residue insertion 
        return Selection(self.residue_range('273:A', '283:A'))

m = MyLoop(env,
           inimodel='TvLDH-mult.pdb', # initial model of the target
           sequence='TvLDH')          # code of the target

m.loop.starting_model= 1           # index of the first loop model 
m.loop.ending_model  = 10          # index of the last loop model
m.loop.md_level = refine.very_fast # loop refinement method; this yields
                                   # models quickly but of low quality;
                                   # use refine.slow for better models

m.make()
 or should I try both?

Thanks:)

When you have regions like this that are not aligned with a template,
the only restraints on them in standard comparative modeling are from
the CHARMM forcefield. This will attempt to generate sensible
stereochemistry, but if you want more native-looking loops, you'll want
to refine them using the loop modeling protocol. You have long loops
though - you'll definitely need to build at least several hundred loop
models. If they still look too constrained, you might consider
broadening the residue range in your selection to include a few residues
either side of the loop.
