This error message is usually encountered when two residues in the target
sequence are aligned with two or more template distances that are very
different, so that the corresponding combined restraint cannot be reproduced
accurately by a cubic spline. Almost invariably, this error occurs when
there is an error in the alignment (ie, one template 'says' a particular
target distance should be close to 10A and the other template says it should
be 20A). But in your case, it seems something else may be wrong, because
stdev is less than 0. Would you please modify file
$MODINSTALL6v2/modlib/messages.lib from
M 644 3 1
Two basis restraints have means too far apart:
ICSR MEAN1 MEAN2 STDEV1 STDEV2 R.VIOL1 R.VIOL2 NEW_SD1 NEW_SD2
To (add @S1 in the fourth line, and keep a blank line after the @S1):
M 644 3 1
Two basis restraints have means too far apart:
ICSR MEAN1 MEAN2 STDEV1 STDEV2 R.VIOL1 R.VIOL2 NEW_SD1 NEW_SD2
@S1
And email me the log file output.
I know the message should be more informative and it should print what the
violating distance is, and some day we will get there ;-)
I hope this helps.
Best, Andrej
