[Chimera-users] Chimera-Modeller interface, template selection

[Julia Shifman]

Dear Elaine,

I was able to get over the first bug and not to download the file form the pDB. However, I am experiencing another problem with modeling two chains. For some reason my models come out with one chain correctly folded and the second chain fused to the C-terminus of the first chain and unfolded.  I am sending you the output file together with the alignment file. Could you tell me what the problem is?  Thanks,

Julia

> It will work if your structure is associated with your sequence alignment.  Then in the dialog where you choose template, it will list the name of the associated sequence.  So pick that one.  Then, when you execute there may be a message “could not discern PDB ID” or something like that, but it will still run the calculation.  It is only trying to find the PDB ID to be able to show more information in the template-choosing area of the dialog.

You can check that the job is running in the Task Panel (opened by clicking the small “i” button near the lower right corner of the Chiemra window).
