Hi there,

 

Looking at your alignment, firstly, the sequence of the pdb file is shorter than the sequence listed (some residues may be disordered. Secondly the numbering StructureX:2vqj.pdb:6:A:236:A – the pdb file (similar to your sequence actually goes to ~residue 406. If you are only after a domain then that is reasonable but I would delete the unwanted residues (sequence and actual pdb file)

 

Hope this helps

 

Joel

Subject: [modeller_usage] Sequence Mismatch Errors

 

All,

 

            I am trying to run a 2d alignment and keep getting a number of errors that I have been unable to rectify. In addition to the error message presented below I've also been getting one that says "Alignment sequence not found in the pdb file".

 

Much appreciated in advance

Austin
