Hi,

In principle, what you are trying to do is a fine idea and should be possible to do something along those lines with MODELLER. Your problem may be a bug in MODELLER or it may be a problem with the restraint file format as you use it, or something else. There is no "1000" limitation on the number of restraints. Are you specifying atoms by their integer indices or by their atom names (one has to use the corresponding restraint file format)? Are you using hydrogens, in which case the TOPOLOGY_MODEL has to be set to 1 and the GENERATE_TOPOLOGY command has to be executed with the top.lib topology library, which contains all hydrogens, not the default top_heav.lib? Are you defining pseudo atoms and using restraints on pseudo atoms (indicated by the second error message), the code for which is buggy?

If this does not help, please email me the input files.

Let's resolve this.

Best, Andrej
