Re: [modeller_usage] Integrate X-ray structure with missing domainsusing templates



Hi

Did you check the tutorial?

I think this is what you are looking for (at the end)

https://salilab.org/modeller/wiki/Missing%20residues

"Because either automodel or loopmodel will build a comparative model using your input PDB as a template, potentially all of the atoms in your final model could move. If you really don't want the non-missing residues to move, you can override the select_atoms method to select only the missing residues with a script similar to that below"


I hope this helps

But this means that the four domains for which I have the X-ray of my target would be moved a little and I want to avoid it. Can I tell modeller not to move them?

That won't work (as you saw) since the inifile has to have exactly the
same sequence as the final model.

Indeed I added the two missing domains (manually aligned with the template). In this way my infile has  exactly the same residues present in the alignment file for the target sequence, but I expect modeller to refine only the two domains I manually add.

Thank you very much for your support,

No. As you discovered you'll lose information that way. I would just
