Hi fellow modellers, I am trying to model my protein with SO4 included in the template pdb file. My problem first started when I used # for sulfate ion in my .ali file but MODELLER stopped early with an error where it was trying to match up the SO4 with GLYP. I thought this was probably because # is used for GLYP in the restyp.lib file and it is the first one defined in the list with a #. Therefore, I changed # to s for SO4 (also changed the original s for sarcosine to #). The model was produced but no coordinates were written for sulfate ions. Does anyone know what I might need to do to get the coordinates written? Cheers, Cheri
