Hello
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this problem I have. I am modeling a large protein and I am using five different templates on different regions of the protein. Let's say the alignment
looks like this
MMMMMMMMMMSMMMMMMMMMMSMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMSMMMMMMMSMMMMMMMMMSMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Model
AAAAAAAAAAA---------------------------AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------------------------AAAAAAAAASAA------------------------------- core template
--------------BBBBSBBBBBBB-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
template2
---------------------------CCCCCCCCCSCCCCC-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
template3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------DDDDDSDDDDDDDDDSDDDDDD--------------------------------------------
template4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEE
template5
__sulfur bridge___ _sulfur
bridge_
___sulfur
bridge___
Overlaps and sequences are of course much longer. The problem is getting the different templates in the same frame of reference, since the alignment is created manually and not by Modeller. The model sequence has very high
identity to the core template so what i would like to do is first model with only the core template and then remodel the three large "deletions" with the other four templates and still maintain the sulfur bridges.
Any other suggestions are of course also welcome in trying to solve this problem.
Thank you
Niklas
