Description

This script is used for template-based structure prediction. It takes an alignment file in FASTA file as input, finds the PDB template, builds a homology model and adds missing (loop) residues via Modeller.

A typical input file is expected to look as follows:

RPRCFFDIAINNQPAGRVVFELFSDVCPKTCENFRCLCTGEKGTGKSTQKPLHYKSCLFHRVVKDFMVQGGDFSEGNGRGGESIYGGFFEDESFAVKHNAAFLLSMANRGKDTNGSQFFITTKPTPHLDGHHVVFGQVISGQEVVREIENQKTDAASKPFAEVRILSCGELIP

Note the PDB code and chain ID in the third line. A properly formatted file can be generated with the psiblast.pl tool from PSI-Blast output.

For this tool to work, it is necessary to have a local copy of the PDB (or at least a directory where the structures for the needed templates are present) either at the location pointed to by the environment variable PDBDIR or given through the option -pdbdir.

Furthermore, Modeller needs to be installed and available. The script will try to guess the location of the Modeller script that can be called with a Modeller input file, but it is better to provide the location through the environment variable MODELLEREXEC.
