Hello: I am running modeller job by "python model-parall.py" based on the following scrips. But it is said in the termial which seems that modeller coundn't find the template pdb file. However, my template pdb file is already in the same working directory which named pt6A.pdb. I don't why it said couldn't find it. Would you please give me some advices?
