Hello,
I am exploring ModBase to build a model for the REcQ2 of arabidopsis
Thaliana(swiss prot acc: Q9FT73).
ModBase found 2 structures matching this target and after downloading
the coordinates file and also the showfile.chimerax file, I was able
to visualize with chimera both structures with apparently a
satisfactory relative orientation. Below I copy-paste the target
coverage:
2v1xA (63-592) crystal structure of human recq-like dna helicase
1wudA (531-602) e. coli recq hrdc domain
I wanted to know if there is an optimization step in the ModBase
pipeline to achieve this and if it is referenced somewhere....and if
not, which modules-scripts are available?
Thanks for your attention,
Maria Persico

I am using the following script for restraining the beta strands in my

Your script will not work because you are using the automodel class
rather than your custom 'mymodel' class. Replace
a = automodel(env,
with
a = mymodel(env,
This also looks like a very old Modeller script (perhaps for Modeller
8). The way secondary structure restraints are defined has changed. See
http://salilab.org/modeller/9v8/manual/node27.html
for the correct syntax for adding a secondary structure restraint.

I try to build a modele with 2 protein templates. I want to modelise
just one loop of 1pkg, part of it on the template 3A2M, the rest of the

BLK residues are really designed for modeling ligands and other things
that are not proteins. If you only want Modeller to optimize part of
your protein, see

You could use multiple-template modeling to achieve this. Alternatively,
you could manually combine the two PDB files, using a PDB viewer or even
by editing the files in a text editor.
I tried modeling it on my own but some parts of the
secondary structure (beta sheet) also change into loop while loop
modeling ..
That is hardly surprising - loop modeling does not use any information
from the template.
So I want to fix those two ends of the beta sheet where the
loop is present so that these end should not change to loop region.
If you don't want to subject the beta sheet to loop modeling, simply
don't select those residues in the select_loop_atoms function:

Hi,
Thanks for the help regrading model-loop-define.py script. I have
one doubt in model selection .. The number of residues that has to
be mentioned for restraining should according to the target sequence
only know ?? ..
Also, I generated some 5 models while restraining some portion of
the sequence as beta strands ?and after seeing all the structures I
found that its model 3 that is having perfectly restrained beta
sheets as compared to others but its DOPE score is ?more as compared
to other structures . In this type of situation how do we have to
select the correct model ?? Here's the list of energies that I got :
Also, I would like to ask one more thing about restraining structure
that while giving the residue range generally last 2 or some times
1 residue/s doesnot retain the restrained structure .. In that case
what do i need to do ??
After doing the restrained modeling is it required to do loop
refinement .. as I am doing loop refinement also by generating some
50 structures and then finally selecting the one with low DOPE score
.. Is this strategy right or wrong ???
