Hi I was wondering if it was possible, given two protein sequences or structures, to show possible docking interactions between the two proteins? And if so, how this is done?? Thanks for your time, Ryan

Loop refinement
by ESTER FUSTE DOMINGUEZ 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Dear Sir/madam, I built a model of a protein using Modeller, and with the PDB file obtained, I'm trying to model loops. I follow the online manual instructions "refining an existing PDB file". However, when I run mod9v2 I obtain this error:( "No such residue: %s" % indx ) Key Error: no such residue 266. In the logfile I don't see what is wrong, and in PDB file 266 residue exists, this is why I don't understand the error "no such residue 266". And could I model three loops at the same time? Thanks.

platform (in)dependent libraries?
by Mike White 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi there, I am running Modeller 9v2 on a 64-bit Linux (Suse) box, and when I ran a small test program, it ran fine (as evidenced from the results and log file), but I received the following errors: ******************************************************************** mike@linux-8h71:~/Modelling_projects/Test_Mod9v2> mod9v2 MakePAPFile.py Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback ******************************************************************* This may have something to do with the directories that various things are in. mod9v2 lives in usr/bin/ the actual programs reside in usr/lib/modeller9v2/ and Python (2.3, 2.4, and 2.5) live in usr/lib64/ Two questions: (1) Is this error something to worry about? (2) If so, how do I correct this problem? As you can guess from the questions, I'm still feeling my way around Linux Thanks Mike White

multiple-template no overlap
by jinlian05＠lzu.cn 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi: My target protein is a member of GPCR.I used multiple template to build the model, there was no overlap among the templates. The final model was not reasonable. The C-tail and N-tail were away from transmember region, simultaneity,located flank of transmember region.I want to know, was there any restraints on 'MODELLER'? the following is alignment: >P1;proteinA structureX:proteinA aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa----------------------------------* >P1;proteinB structureX:proteinB ----------------------------bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb---------* >P1;proteinC structureX:proteinC -----------------------------------------------------ccccccccc* >P1;model sequence:model aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc* The following was my script: from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import * env = environ() a = automodel(env, alnfile='model_mult.ali', knowns=('proteinA','proteinB', 'proteinC' ), sequence='model') a.starting_model = 1 a.ending_model = 1 a.make() was I missing something important? Or, did it in a wrong way? looking for your reply! thanks!

Problem when reconstruct the protein with know structure!
by liu xin 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi all I divided the protein with know structure (bovine rhodopsin receptor) into three part: N-terminus region, transmembrane region and C-terminus region without change their initial coordinates, and I try to use the three parts to reconstruct the original structure of the protein. First, I aligned the three parts as the following way: (sorry, last letter I submited a wrong alignment,the following is I used) >P1;N-terminus structureX:N-terminus aaaaaaaaaa------------------------------* >P1;tm-region structureX:tm-region ----------bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb----------* >P1;C-terminus structureX:C-terminus ------------------------------cccccccccc* >P1;original sequence:original aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb* then I used the following script to generate the original structure of my protein: from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import * env = environ() a = automodel(env, alnfile='bhro_mult.ali', knowns=('bhro_n','bhro_tm','bhro_c'), sequence='bhro') a.starting_model = 1 a.ending_model =1 a.make() However, the generated model was different from the original one, looking closely, I found the difference mainly occurred in the N-terminus and C-terminus regions, their coordinates have changed greatly when compared with the original structure. I was missing something important? Or, did it in a wrong way? I am new to modeller, any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance yours Xin Liu

Modeling a sequence based on a low identity to a template
by ESTER FUSTE DOMINGUEZ 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Dear Sir/Madam, I'm trying to model a sequence based on a low identity template. QUESTION 1: I follow the example "difficult modeling" from Modeller tutorial. However, in the last step, when I run "mod9v2 model.py" I obtain this misake described below: <<'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "model.py", line 9, in ? a.make() File "C:\Archivos de programa\Modeller9v2\modlib\modeller\automodel\automodel py", line 99, in make self.homcsr(exit_stage) File "C:\Archivos de programa\Modeller9v2\modlib\modeller\automodel\automodel py", line 412, in homcsr self.check_alignment(aln) File "C:\Archivos de programa\Modeller9v2\modlib\modeller\automodel\automodel py", line 394, in check_alignment aln.check() File "C:\Archivos de programa\Modeller9v2\modlib\modeller\alignment.py", line 182, in check libs=self.env.libs.modpt) _modeller.error: read_te_291E> Sequence difference between alignment and pdb :>> I tried to solve it, but I could'nt. Could you help me, please? mGenTHREADER PREDICTION RESULTS: HTML formatted results can be found here: http://bioinf2.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psiout/d83ffff39d5b753b.mgen.html QUESTION 2: When my sequence was submitted to the mGenThreader server to fold assignment, the server didn't returned me any significat hit, all confidence levels were GUESS (p-value >= 0.1) Then, which hit should I take? The hit which have the smallest p-value or the hit with the highest percentage identity? Or maybe If I don't have any significat hit, all models built by MODELLER will be wrong.Is that true? QUESTION 3: In "difficult example" in MODELLER's tutorial, in this alignment, I don't know which is the criterion to choose 30 :A: 209 :A:::: in structureX. How do you count it? I don't undestand the way you count it. <<Alignment between the nsp16 sequence and the 1ej0A from mGenThreader results.
