Dear All,
I was trying to use Modeller to produce coordinates of parts of a given target sequence based on full PDB coordinates of a template. For example: my template has a sequence AAAAABBCCCCCDDEEEEE which represents three helices (AAAAA, CCCCC, EEEEE) connected by two loops (BB, DD). My target has a sequence aaaaabbcccccddeeeee (again three helices and two loops) and I would like to overlap target helices on the template helices such that the loops in target are ignored. In other words, the resulting coordinates for the target would just have three helices (aaaaa, ccccc, eeeee). I have tried different alignment variants, such as:
>P1;mol1 structureX:mol1:1: :19: : :2.2: AAAAABBCCCCCDDEEEEE*
>P1;mol2 sequence:mol2: : : : : : : aaaaa--ccccc--eeeee*
but the target sequence always wants to be connected; I don't know how to make Modeller to produce three helical fragments modeled on template helices of the full PDB structure. If some Modeller expert could provide advice or point out what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it...
Thanks! -Viktor
