Hi there,

I am trying to model a multichain protein (homodimer) using 2 templates. I have two issues,

Currently my .pir file looks like this

>P1;seq1
sequence:seq1:1:A:1224:A::::
xxxx/
xxxx*

>P1;template1.pdb
structureX:template1.pdb:40:A:651:B:41:B:648:
xxxx/
xxxx*
>P1;template2.pdb
structureX:template2:3:B:291 :B::Thermus thermophilus HB8:1.45:
xxxx/
-------/
>P1;template2.pdb
structureX:template2:3:B:291 :B::Thermus thermophilus HB8:1.45:
-------/
xxxx*

Firstly, my template 1 I am using both chain A and chain B, they have slightly different missing residues in the template but thats fine.
For template 2 I cant put them under the same header, modeller doesn't seem to understand that I want to use chain B of template 2 for both chain A and B of my target so I specified it separately - it seems to work fine though with this setup.

Unfortunately when I try add HETATM information ".." at the end of my target and template 1 and 2 gaps "--" for template 2 modeller says the whole sequence is out of alignment suddenly. I have specific HETATM=true in my script so it reads that part fine.

My alignment looks like this but does not work? Am I missing some obvious?

>P1;seq1
sequence:seq1:1:A:1224:A::::
xxxx../
xxxx..*

>P1;template1.pdb
structureX:template1.pdb:40:A:651:B:41:B:648:
xxxx../
xxxx..*
>P1;template2.pdb
structureX:template2:3:B:291 :B::Thermus thermophilus HB8:1.45:

>P1;template2.pdb
