Hello Justin and Mark, Thanks for the reply. Reason that I didnt apply loop modelling was, for that region it is not given in literature that, this region which consist of 10 residues will form a helix of will remain in loop in an disorganized way. Therefore, I was reluctant in doing loop reconstruction without prior information of this building as loop or helix.
And u rightly said that fusing non-corresponding residues will give wrong results, that's why I was asking that if there is way to go for simulation while having some missing residues. But your replies suggest that the answer is no. So, I will go for loop reconstruction and will then see what happens. Regards Thanks and Regards -- Sonali Dhindwal --- On Tue, 12/10/10, Justin A.

Loop reconstruction, though not trivial, is routinely applied in such cases. That's one of the reasons why programs like Loopy, Modeller, SwissPDBViewer, etc exist. > So, if there is someway through which these residues remain missing and still > I can go ahead with simulation ? You're fusing non-consecutive residues. I would suspect that doing so would have negative implications for your results. -Justin > Thanks in advance. > Regards > > -- > Sonali Dhindwal > > -- ======================================== Justin A.
