Hi Modellers,

I get a "command not recognized" error, see log below when trying to use the 'special_patches' routine, to tell modeller to make 2 S-S bonds in a loop I am modelling,

I can't see any error in my top file or alignment,

I used the code directly from the manual FAQ number 6, define additional disulphides not in template, with appropriate changes, see top file below.

any ideas what I am doing wrong?

cheers

Dan
