Reply To: modelling loops and inserted domains

[Anonymous]

1) 50-100 residues is pretty large but you can always try
2) Yes, you definitely need to re-compile the source code to get a new executable
3) yes, vall_cst_coord.dat.2001-02-02 will work. You need modify the scripts to find this file instead of old one.

The advantage is the use of the environment from the ‘host’ domain, but are any of the protocols capable of ab initio modeling of large domain insertions (50-100 residues)? The inserted domain could be modeled alone, but that modeling loses the context information from the host domain.
