When I view my structural model as a cartoon, it contains several
short 'helices', composed of only three residues each. The template

would like to remove these short helices from my model. Is there a
simple way to remove secondary structure?
See http://salilab.org/archives/modeller_usage/2009/msg00170.html
for a recent discussion. In short, there is no way to force Modeller
to build models with no secondary structure, but modifying the
alignment so that the model is not aligned with the template in that
region will often give the result you want.
Note, I have tried loop refinement; it worked on a couple of my
short helices, but has failed to fix my last one.
What makes you sure that your helices need to be "fixed"?
