Dear Users,
I am trying to produce a chimeric model as in FAQ number 4. However I am getting the following error using Modeller release 4:-
>> CHECK_ALIGNMENT:
chkaln___> Checking pairwise structural superpositions: Equivalent CA pairs with distance difference larger than 6.0 angstroms:
ALN_POS TMPL1 TMPL2 RID1 RID2 NAM1 NAM2 DIST ----------------------------------------------------
chkaln___> Checking structure-sequence alignments: Implied target CA(i)-CA(i+1) distances longer than 8.0 angstroms:
ALN_POS TMPL RID1 RID2 NAM1 NAM2 DIST ----------------------------------------------
<< end of CHECK_ALIGNMENT.
fit2xyz_E> number of equivalent positions < 3: 2 recover__> MODELLER_STATUS >= STOP_ON_ERROR: 1 1
Can someone tell what this error means,
Regards,
Tony Pemberton

Hi,
All these error messages point to a problem with the alignment. It is likely that the overlap between the two templates that make up the chimera is too small in the alignment (last error message) and/or that the structure of the overlapping region is very different (second chkaln and last error message). I could tell you more if you send your alignment file.
The first chkaln message is telling you that two residues that flank a gap in the target (model) sequence are aligned with a pair of residues in the template (structure) that is more than 8 A apart, which probably means that the gap is incorrectly placed.
I hope this helps.
Best Wishes,
Roberto

Roberto,
Correct!! - Thanks for the advice,
