Randy,
I have tried this method with blast results, but not with the hhpred results. How many structures do you suggest I use in ensembler? I am willing to try anything.
THanks,
Heather

| MR_Rosetta can do amazing things, but it might also be worth trying something more manual that has worked for us for several structures with models in the 20% range (e.g. angiotensinogen). Get a number of models from the HHpred search, use the HHpred alignment to superimpose them with phenix.ensembler and turn on the trim option (Ensemble generation settings -> Trim residues deviating more than threshold). This prunes the ensemble back to the conserved core, which (with any luck) should also be preserved in your target structure. Pruning off things that are wrong turns out to be very good for improving the signal-to-noise. After ensembler, run phenix.sculptor (using your HHpred alignment) to trim off the non-conserved side chains from the trimmed ensemble) and then try to solve it in Phaser with the resulting sculpted ensemble.

As I try and solve the phase with Se-Met derived protein, I thought I would try and use MR_rosetta and see what happens. I have also tried to use pyrosetta to generate better models, but the structure alignments suggest my protein to be primarily composed of beta sheets so the models from ab initio methods aren't great. I am using the GUI and have given my sca file, a sequence file, the 3 and 9 fragment files, and both the global and local alignment hhr files. I thought that phenix would use the hhr alignments to pull models directly from the pdb, but without giving a model pdb, MR_rosetta fails. So my question is how do I input the models? Should I download each of the pdbs and clean them up a bit? How many should I include? !
