Re: Problem building 2-domain protein



Dear Pieter!


Initial alignment is porbably bad which is indicated in diagnostics of
CHECK_ALIGNMENT and MALIGN3D.
Please check your alignment manually or use FIT = on in MALIGN3D to
produce correct alignment. If it won't help, then please send me .top,
.pdb, alignment files and other necessary input files in separate
attachments or as a tar.gz archive.

Happy landings,

Azat
