Hi
I assume from your message that none of the structure coordinates are read in. Well the problems seems to be with the "known" codes you have used in the TOP script and the ones you hace used in the alignment. The TOP script says that the knowns are 't2avi1' 't2avi2' 't2avi3' .... but in the .ali file the first entry has the code as 2avi1 instead of t2avi1 (after structureX), so MODELLER would be looking for 2avi1.atm instead of t2avi1.atm and hence gving the error 'Structure not read in'. If you change your alignment file there should be no problems. If you still have the same problem try changing the codes in the comment line too (the one after >P1). Also if you aren't using the entire sequence of the structure in your alignment your .atm file should contain only those residues which you are using in the alignment and you have to specify the residue numbers appropriately in the alignment.
Hope this helps. regards Raghu
