Modeller 9.13 release
by Modeller Caretaker 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

The new version of Modeller, 9.13, is now available for download! Please see the download page at http://salilab.org/modeller/ for more information. If you have a license key for Modeller 8 or 9, there is no need to reregister for Modeller 9.13 - the same license key will work. (It won't do any harm to reregister if you want to, though!) 9.13 is primarily a bugfix release relative to the last public release (9.12). Major user-visible changes include: # Modeller now includes a variety of SOAP (statistically optimized atomic potential) scores for assessing proteins, loops, and interfaces. # The Lennard-Jones interaction energy is now artificially truncated at very short distance; this makes simulations with poor starting conditions much less likely to 'blow up'. # model.get_insertions(), model.get_deletions() and model.loops() now have an include_termini option; if False, residue ranges that include chain termini are excluded from the output. See the Modeller manual for a full change log: http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node39.html If you encounter bugs in Modeller 9.13, please see http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node10.html for information on how to report them. Note: you are receiving this email either because you subscribed to the modeller_usage mailing list, or you provided this address when you requested a Modeller license and you ticked the "notify me of new releases" box.

Reading heteroatoms
by Lucas 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear all, I'm willing to model a protein containing zinc atoms, something I've done successfully before using earlier versions of modeller. The template has protein and two zinc ions in chain A, and so I added two dots in the end of my alignment sequences, but I get the "Number of residues in the alignment and pdb files are different" message (the difference is actually the two additional residues). The FAQ (question #17) suggests running a simple script to see what Modeller is reading from the PDB and, running it on PDB 1HRA, I get this: >P1;1hra structureX:1hra: 1 :A:+80 :A:MOL_ID 1; MOLECULE RETINOIC ACID RECEPTOR; CHAIN A; ENGINEERED YES:MOL_ID 1; ORGANISM_SCIENTIFIC HOMO SAPIENS; ORGANISM_COMMON HUMAN; ORGANISM_TAXID 9606:-1.00: -1.00 MPRVYKPCFVCQDKSSGYHYGVSACEGCKGFFRRSIQKNMIYTCHRDKNCVINKVTRNRCQYCRLQKCFEVGMSK ESVRN* I.e., for some reason modeller only reads the amino acids and not the two zinc ions, and the last two dots are missing. What should I do to read the heteroatoms? Lucas

Best workflow to modeling a disordered loop in a complicated structure
by Zachary W Carpenter 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hello, I have used modeller to attempt to model a loop region in a tetrameric structure. To speed up computational time I've started with just the dimer ( which I think also makes sense biologically ) and ran the following script with an .ali file I created. The region of interest is a disordered loop AA~399-417. Following this I used the evaluate model script to pick the best model, which I then used as the template input for the loop.py script. I run the loop.py script at many iterations and then when it finishes I take the top 20 models (out of 1000) by DOPE score and attempt to analyze them. Any advice on how I could improve my method would be great.. I really am at the edge of my understanding here. I've edited the name of the protein. I can include it as soon as I can verify that this can stay anonymous. Thanks!!!

Then use this to design wet lab experiments to test. Thanks again

Using 2 templates, one to just model the protein and the other to just model the ligand
by Juan Munoz-Garcia 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Dear MODELLER users, I want to do homology modelling of a protein based on just one template because it is so far the only template of a particular protein state of its family I' m interest in. However, that template does not contain the natural ligand of the target. Then, I want to use another template of the protein-ligand(natural) complex of interest but just to say Modeller to use the ligand coordinates. So, it is a multi-alignment using the HET option but I don't know how to say Modeller that I just want to model the target sequence based on just one template and considering the ligand of the other template. Is this possible? I look forward to hearing from you. Juan C. Munoz-Garcia, PhD

I am not quite sure what each of those numbers mean, although the link does mention, can somebody clearly explain what those numbers are in restraints panel? http://salilab.org/modeller/8v1/manual/node157.html#SECTION:atomid Also, I would like to restrain N-N distance rather than C-alpha C-alpha. How do I make those changes? Thanks a lot Manju

Hi, Thanks for replying. Now, after making that change, I am getting the following error: Alignment sequence not found in PDB file: 1 atom_files/2hzv.pdb (You didn't specify the starting and ending residue numbers and chain IDs in the alignment, so Modeller tried to guess these from the PDB file.)

Loop optimization starting from a structure with ligand
by ms 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hello, I am trying to perform loop optimization on a protein structure which contains a non-standard ligand. The optimization I am attempting requires constrains between the ligand and the loops. Protein is chain A, ligand is a single residue defined as chain B, described as heteroatoms. I had no trouble performing homology modeling from a structure containing the ligand, and it was correctly carried upon once I define env.io.hetatm = True .However this seems not to work anymore when doing loop optimization only on the same structure. When I try to run the job, I always get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "tas2r463pbl_mod.py", line 42, in ? a.make() File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/automodel/loopmodel.py", line 36, in make self.build_seq(self.inimodel, 1) File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/automodel/loopmodel.py", line 167, in build_seq self.loop_restraints(atmsel, aln) File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/automodel/loopmodel.py", line 361, in loop_restraints self.special_restraints(aln) File "tas2r463pbl_mod.py", line 24, in special_restraints rsr.add(forms.gaussian(group=physical.bond,feature=features.distance(at['CA:70:A'],at['C16:309:B']), mean=1.00, stdev=0.10)) File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/coordinates.py", line 376, in __getitem__ (self.offset, self.length, self.suffix)) File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/util/modutil.py", line 23, in handle_seq_indx int_indx = lookup_func(*args) File "/usr/lib/modeller9.10/modlib/modeller/coordinates.py", line 289, in _indxatm raise KeyError("No such atom: %s" % indx) KeyError: 'No such atom: C16:309:B' Looking in the log, I think this is the relevant warning: transfe_404W> At least one template is aligned with model residue 309:B but no coordinates could be transferred.
