Error in "Unknown residue type, position, sequence" once more.

31 Jul '06

I'm sorry to disturb you but i got the old error say that: "read_al_375E> Unknown residue type,position,sequence" when I run the script: model-single.py. I also check the name very careful. It's right. Please tell me how to solve this error. Here is my code: File model-single.py: from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import * env = environ() a = automodel(env, alnfile='blbp-1ehyA.ali', knowns='1ehyA', sequence='blbp') a.starting_model = 1 a.ending_model = 5 a.make() File blbp-1ehyA.ali: >P1;1ehyA structureX:1ehyA: 2 :A: 294 :A::: 2.10:-1.00 AIRRPEDFKHYEVQLPDVKIHYVREGAGPTLLLLHGWPGFWWEWSKVIGPLAEHYDVIVPDLRGFGDSEKPDLND LSKYSLDKAADDQAALLDALGIEKAYVVGHDFAAIVLHKFIRKYSDRVIKAAIFDPIQPDFESWYSQFHQLDMAV EVVGSSREVCKKYFKHFFDHWSYRDELLTEEELEVHVDNCMKPDNIHGGFNYYRANIRPDAALWTDLDHTMSDLP VTMIWGLGDTCVPYAPLIEFVPKYYSNYTMETIEDCGHFLMVEKPEIAIDRIKTAFR* >P1;blbp sequence:blbp::::::: 0.00: 0.00 MPDPASGIAI NRVPANGLEF EVAMAGEGDH LALMLHGFPE LHFSWRHQMP LLAEMGYRVW APNMRGYGET TRPTEVRDYA LDHLTQDVAA LIDASGATKV TLIAHDWGAI IAWYFAILKL RPLERLVIMN VPHPKVLQRE LRRWEQIKKS WYVFFFQLPW LPEKRIGADS GKRIGELFAQ TSCNPERFGP DVKAVYAAGA ARPGAPRAMV NYYRAAMRHR DTIDPGDFRV DVPTLLVWGE EDVALNIRCT EGTEQWVPDI TVKRLPNVSH WVQQDAPDEV NAILREWLPK PAPAS* Thank you very much!!!

[ help ] exceeded maxmol_pdf?
by Cathy Chang 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi, I'm trying to model a protein that is about 890 aa long. I was provided with 1NW1 to model against; however, the problem I ran into was that the output structure from Modeller had a protein core and a long tail region. I ran my target in 123D+ and found 1JQI to align fairly well with this trailing tail region, so I want to model my target with both 1NW1 (core region - 32:A:426:A) and 1JQI (trailing tail region - 4:A:387:A). However, when I run Modeller, I get all of the output except the PDB file, and this error message keeps appearing in my log file: >> Summary of failed models: acad10.B99990001.pdb Obj. func. (164592.781) exceeded max_molpdf (100000.000) ==> (note: the obj. func. value changes but it's always over the max) I tried changing the domains of both 1NW1 and 1JQI, but I still get the same error message. How would I be able to avoid exceeding the max pdf size if I want to model my target with both of the listed proteins against the specific areas of my target? Thank you for your help! - Cathy

modelling fragments
by Viktor Hornak 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Dear All, I was trying to use Modeller to produce coordinates of parts of a given target sequence based on full PDB coordinates of a template. For example: my template has a sequence AAAAABBCCCCCDDEEEEE which represents three helices (AAAAA, CCCCC, EEEEE) connected by two loops (BB, DD). My target has a sequence aaaaabbcccccddeeeee (again three helices and two loops) and I would like to overlap target helices on the template helices such that the loops in target are ignored. In other words, the resulting coordinates for the target would just have three helices (aaaaa, ccccc, eeeee). I have tried different alignment variants, such as: >P1;mol1 structureX:mol1:1: :19: : :2.2: AAAAABBCCCCCDDEEEEE* >P1;mol2 sequence:mol2: : : : : : : aaaaa--ccccc--eeeee* but the target sequence always wants to be connected; I don't know how to make Modeller to produce three helical fragments modeled on template helices of the full PDB structure. If some Modeller expert could provide advice or point out what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it... Thanks! -Viktor -- ===================== Viktor Hornak SUNY at Stony Brook =====================

[ question ] atom files?
by Cathy Chang 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Hi, My name is Cathy. I'm a new user of Modeller, and I'm still trying to figure out the input files to run Modeller. I'm having trouble with the atom files...I don't exactly know what is an atom file. I tried using the .pdb file straight from the PDB. I tried changing the file content to just the "atom" section of the PDB files. And nothing seems to work. I have the script file & alignment file in the default Modeller directory, and I set the atom file environment to a folder named "atom_files" with the 2 atom files (1pme & 1wbn). But when I try running my script, it says that atom files cannot be found in the directory atom_files. Here's the exact error message: ==================== Read the alignment from file : 1pme_1wbn.ali Total number of alignment positions: 388 # Code #_Res #_Segm PDB_code Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- 1 1pme 380 1 1pme 2 1wbn 360 1 1wbn runcmd______> alignment.check() check_a_343_> >> BEGINNING OF COMMAND openf5__224_> Open 11 OLD SEQUENTIAL \Modeller8v2\atom_files\1pme.atm rdpdb___303E> No atoms were read from the specified input PDB file, since the starting residue number and/or chain id in MODEL_SEGMENT (or the alignment file header) was not found; requested starting position: residue number " 0", chain " " rdabrk__288W> Protein not accepted: 1 1pme check_a_337E> Structure not read in (please consult the log file for more details): 1 1pme ==================== It would be great if anyone can help me with this problem!

Tyrosinekinase-Modelling
by Torsten Stauder 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi mailing list! I'm new to "modeller" and actually my modelling doesn't work. However... let my explain... Given is a tyrosine kinase, whose structure is already known. In some cases, this tyrosine kinase is mutated and a so called "internal tandem duplication" [itd] is inserted. It looks like this: wild type sequence: AAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBB itd: AAAAAAAAAAAAAxxxxxxxxxxxBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB (x = insertion) So I have been performing an alignment and tried to run it with modeller. "model-default.py" was used for the first test.

Model assessment - GA341
by Cassiano 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hi all, I have some questions about the model.asses_ga341. In the manual on-line is described that it uses the "percentage sequence identity between the template and the model as a parameter". But, in the cited work (Melo et al, 2002) i don't see this relation with sequence identity. My questions: - How Modeller treat the sequence identity in the context of the cited work? - If the identity between my target and templates is very low, how the quality of the model is affected? (and what you recommend to use to assess the quality) Thanks, Cassiano Carromeu.
