Now, I want to what is the difference between automodel and loopmodel
optimization on selected region ?
The difference is primarily in the scoring function used. In unaligned
regions, automodel uses basically just the CHARMM forcefield. In aligned
regions, automodel adds in information derived from the templates.
loopmodel uses the CHARMM forcefield plus a statistical potential. It
totally ignores template information.
