successive model building
by adak Nasiripour 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

dear all; I am going to build a model based on a multiple subunit membrane chanel(a five subunit homopantameric one); it is suggested that I build these kind of models in a "successive" manner, meaning:keeping the template multisubunit and running modeller with the target sequence; then again keeping the template subunits (all) along with the first and second target sequences; then again having template in hand with the dimer made, building the third subunit and so on... somebody guide me:1- what is the benefit of this successive step modelling? 2- how should I perform this? does anybody have an example file to show me how to add previous models to the current project? thanks. adak N. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

hi all, i want to model some of oGPCRs in humans,when i went for the similarity search using blast and fasta against PDB(to get template) ,the maximum similarity is only upto 32-35 for the corrwesponding entreis ,so want can i do ???can anyone sugest..

about the installation of modeller8v1
by Shulin Zhuang 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Dear All, I just install the modeller8v1 on SGI300 and I run the install script. At finally the message"Happy modeling!" "MODELLER Team, 2005" arise. At the bin directory, there are such commands as mod8v1_i386-intel8,mod8v1_iris4d..... but no mod8v1. For my machine is SGI300, the command that I should use is mod8v1_iris4d. Therefore after the installation , I set the environment at the .cshrc file: #Modeller setenv PATH $PATH\://usr/people/biomd/modeller/bin setenv KEY_MODELLER8v1 xxxx(the password) alias mod8v1 mod8v1_iris4d But when I run the examles at the automodel: run_tests It tells me that: Fatal error, MODINSTALL8v1 environment variables not set: incomplete installation. What is the error in my environment variables. How should I do. -- Shulin Zhuang Chemistry Department Zhejiang University PRC shulin.zhuang(a)gmail.com

Advantages of manual protein sequence alignment between target and template [Very urgent please]
by rajesh rengaraj 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hello protein builders; I am new to the Homology modeling field, I have membrane protein as a target and I need to model this protein, because of less sequence identity I suppose to model this protein by manual protein sequence alignment between the target and template. Let me know the advantages of manual protein sequence alignment and by this whether it is possible to improve the structure of the target protein. I need some ideas regarding this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. With regards, Rajesh Rangaraj. Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com

Re: modeller_usage Digest, Vol 5, Issue 7

Hi I would like to ask a question re the check.py and prosa2003 analysis of my model In the model I am building the check.py script identifies a region int he modeller produced alignment where the distance is greater than 8 angstroms This region corresponds to an insertion in the sequence to be modelled which aligns with a helix region in the template. Using prosa to assess the quality of a model built with this alignment shows that the energy for this region is lower than that of the template (there is a peak in the template at this region of beta sheet of 0.7). adjusting the alignment to remove this insertion against the region of secondary structure, and to move it to a region of no secondary strcuture, provides a clean check.py result but a combined energy peak in prosa at the postion this previous insertion was which is 0.8 and matches the template. As I have mentioned in the template there is a helix located at this position, In the secondary strcuture for the sequence, thetre is no predicted helix in the corresponding region. Could anyone please give me any thoughts on this behaviour?!

Modeling antibody
by BiplabBose＠bits-pilani.ac.in 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hi, I am trying to model an antibody variable region using Modeller. I have two questions : 1. I have modelled the heavy chain and Light chain seperately. Now, how can I orient this two chains to generate the complete molecule? 2. CDR loops of antibodies have specific canonical structures, which depends upon loop length, hydrogen bond ladder etc. Can I modify Modeller to build the loops as per the canonical structures?

Hi fellow Modellers ! Does anyone know how can I create variable models? I want to get models that are different from one another (high rmsd between models). Thanks ! -Inbal

Re: Ligand clues and water blues

Hi Jo, You have two messages and I am not sure where you are. I mentioned earlier in my reply to replace the /...* with XXX* for the template and ...* for the model in your alignment file. It seems like you're still including the '/' character, which is unnecessary at the end of the sequence and may cause problems (shifts). The '/' is necessary to break the peptide sequence in the middle of the sequence, not at the end. IF you do a dimer for example you need it there between the monomers, but NOT at the end. In option one, > this gives this error: > rdabrk__290E> Number of residues in the alignment and pdb files are > different: 517 516 > For alignment entry: 1 > recover____E> ERROR_STATUS >= STOP_ON_ERROR: 1 1 the error is real and you should look for where the problem is in the pdb file vs the alignment file. As I understand it you should have the residues coordinates in the pdb file then two ligands AMP (515) and Mg (516), and then one water molecule, which should be marked as HETATM with the number 517. If this is the way it is and the second line of the template in alignment file is: structureX:Bamu:1 : :517H : :unknown:unknown:-1.00:-1.00 RKQLPEPDLTFXXX* and the XXX* is aligned with the ...* AFTER the .ini is written (see below), then you should not get this error, unless you deleted something (a residue) by mistake. In option 2: You MUST check the alignment file for shifts after you exe or start the Modeler_Run AND the .ini file is written. Modeler 7 is known for introducing '-' into the sequence and things get messed up. This occurs near the '/' character. In option 3: Everyone else can correct me, if I am wrong, but I do not see the problem with water coming up as BLK. As long as it's in the proper position in the 3D structure, it's OK. Just replace BLK with HOH manually in the pdb file. If you do the XXX aligned with ... then all HETATM including water are treated as HETATM and renamed BLK. In option 4: I would leave water_IO = on out. Do not assume that all the commands work perfectly right. As I mentioned above Modeler 7 has this shift issues that was not present in Modeler 6.
