Hello Modellers,
I'm running into issues when modelling a multimeric (2 chains) protein. When using the multi-chain modelling example seen in the online manual (see below) it throws an error because the monomers aren't the same length, per the special_restraints(). How can I resolve this issue?
Regards, Ryan
