Modeller users:
As a neophyte, both to homology modeling and to the program Modeller-4, I am somewhat confused by the protocol to follow in order to generate a model of my target enzyme. I would be very grateful if the Modeller user community could help get me going!
I have the sequence of my target, and five .pdb files of enzymes that belong to the same family, and share between 30 - 50% sequence similarity to the target. I want to get a 'good' model of the target - CPU time is not a problem, I would prefer to be thorough and get better results.
Can anybody suggest the procedure I should follow, from the beginning!
What file do I begin with? Do I write this myself? What is it called? How do I obtain an alignment file? MALIGN-3D? then CHECK_ALIGNMENT? Which script files should I run? mod model-default? How do I account for the error noted in the newsgroup archives?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Similarly, if anyone has modified the basic script files to good effect, I would appreciate a copy!
Thanks in advance,
Nick
