Dear all,

First of all, thanks to Ben Webb for answering my question regarding acetylation in MODELLER 8.1.

Now, I would like to do the same thing in MODELLER 7.7, but mod7v7.exe error terminates when I run my script. I have included my script and excerpt from the .log file below.

It is rather peculiar that the .log says:

''Atom index is out of bounds: 708 706'',

since these indices are indeed present in the .ini file. What goes wrong?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Niels Johan Christensen
