Abstract
Insights into the 3D?structure of a protein have proven useful during experiment design. Experimentally elucidated structures are often not available, but comparative protein modeling provides a viable alternative in many cases. This unit presents comparative protein modeling and how to use the highly sophisticated but easy?to?use free software available on the Internet.

Figure 2.8.2 Message sent when the server starts to build the model. The unique process identification (AAAa002Of) is added in the subject of all subsequent e‐mails. This is useful when several modeling requests are treated concurrently. View Image -

Figure 2.8.14 Loop from Ile110 to Ans133 rebuilt with the default alignment. (A ) Backbone representation where Cα are emphasized with bigger atoms. Hydrogen bonds are drawn as dotted lines. (B ) Ribbon representation of the same loop. (C and D ) Same region rebuilt after manual optimisation of the alignment. The H‐bonding pattern is more regular, which makes a longer β‐sheet.

Figure 2.8.15 Typical example of a Log file for a model that failed because a long loop had to be rebuilt (between THR83 and THR94). As no suitable solution was found after several attempts to gain more flexibility using ever increasing number of residues, the modeling procedure stopped. In most cases, the only way of addressing this problem is to move the gap location in SPDBV, and resubmit an “optimise mode” modeling request. View Image -
