Hello Modeller users,
I am building a homology model from a template that contains hetero atoms that I don't want to include as block (BLK) residues. This means that they must exist in the residue type library (modlib/restyp.lib). Before I attempt to create two new library entries, I would like to know if somebody has already done this for the HETATM entries that I am interested in. They are
FDP (FRUCTOSE-2,6-BISPHOSPHATE) and AMP (ADENOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE)
Thanks, Christian Barrett
Dera Cristian!
I must confess that I never did that myself. But i suggest that you look at modlib/top.lib file and create the correspondent entry
RESI ...
for your molecules.
Please refer to CHARMM documentation for more info.
This is not a lot of information but it could be useful for a start from the scratch.
Azat.

There is also a FAQ on this.

Azat, Am I going about this the wrong way? As I understand it, if I were to include AMP (for instance) as a BLK residue then its chemical information is not used in the homology modelling process --- it is only treated as a rigid body with particular side-chain contacts. But I expect some of these contacts to change and I didn't think that BLK residues would have enough information to allow the homology modelling process to intelligently alter side-chain contacts.
If I am wrong on this, what does one gain by defining new "residues" in the way that I was planning to do it?
Thanks, Christian

Christian, you are not wrong on this, so I strongly recommend to incorporate this change to the MODELLER libraries or to additional ad hoc library (which is better way: you can read this additional library by READ_TOPOLOGY with ADD... flag = ON)
Hopefully, this will help...
