Dear sir,

I'll be very much grateful to you if you can help me in one of my modeller job submission.

I am trying to superimpose some structures simultaneously using malign3D. My top script file and alignment file are as follows. I had attached the log file also. There structures were of ~410 residues and with heme and a bound ligand. I always failed to get the structural alignment, the reason I could not figure out. Please help me in running this program, also tell me what are the general steps to follow for doing structural alignments and where are the chances for potential errors.
