Hi, I just installed chimerax RC-1.8 and tried to use "modeller" (tools->sequence->modeller comparative). The resulting error message is attached to this email. If I use chimerax 1.7 with the very same data modeller works. Am I doing something wrong or did I find a bug? cheers Roberto Follows the complete log: === modeller comparative aligned_1.fasta:2 numModels 5 fast false multichain false hetPreserve true hydrogens false waterPreserve falseWebservices job id: GN1G33GHX39IPCAE Modeller job (ID GN1G33GHX39IPCAE) finished Modeller error output Traceback (most recent call last): File "ModellerModelling.py", line 74, in <module> a.make() File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 141, in make self.homcsr(exit_stage) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 624, in homcsr self.check_alignment(aln) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/modeller/automodel/automodel.py", line 577, in check_alignment aln.check() File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/modeller/alignment.py", line 213, in check self.check_structure_structure(io=io) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/modeller/alignment.py", line 222, in check_structure_structure return f(self.modpt, io.modpt, self.env.libs.modpt, eqvdst) _modeller.SequenceMismatchError: read_te_291E> Sequence difference between alignment and pdb : Modeller run output MODELLER 10.5, 2024/01/19, r12711 PROTEIN STRUCTURE MODELLING BY SATISFACTION OF SPATIAL RESTRAINTS Copyright(c) 1989-2024 Andrej Sali All Rights Reserved Written by A.

The alignment sequence must match that from the atom file exactly. Another possibility is that some residues in the atom file are missing, perhaps because they could not be resolved experimentally. (Note that Modeller reads only the ATOM and HETATM records in PDB, NOT the SEQRES records.) In this case, simply replace the section of your alignment corresponding to these missing residues with gaps. read_te_288W> Protein not accepted: 1 1pbx.cif_2/A No output models from Modeller; see log for Modeller text output.
