Option Include non-water HETATM in Modeller Comparative

Hi all, I am running a very simple example in Modeller Comparative (a small alignment including the template structure and the target sequence to model). Since the template harbors a HEME group, I decided to select the Advanced option "Include non-water molecules HETATM residues from template". However, no one of the retrieved models contains the HEME group. Does anyone know what could be happening?

Hi Marta, Thanks for reporting this problem. I have opened a ticket for the issue: #3814 (HETATM not passed through to Modeller when requested) <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/3814>. Hopefully we will have it fixed in the next day or two. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi Marta, If you are modeling a monomer and you need to do this immediately, you could use Chimera. The process is similar except that in Chimera, the sequence-window menu "Structure... Modeller (homology)" is how you show the modeling dialog. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/mo...> In Chimera, there is at least one thing that may be less convenient: you cannot show the modeling dialog if you only have a single sequence instead of a multiple alignment. So, if you were only opening the single sequence of the target in ChimeraX, in Chimera there would be an extra step: using sequence-window menu Edit... Add Sequence, choose the "from structure" tab and add the sequence of the template so that it will be an alignment of 2 sequences. Then you can show the modeling dialog, etc. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/mu...> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
