Tom,
The gap is there, but I’m not sure if I have generated the sequence file correctly. I used a fasta format of all the amino acids in the protein construct. The first three are from the tag, and then the sequence starts at amino acid number 299. The amino acid that is first visible varies from structure to structure and between chains in the same structure, and is between 299 and 307. For the structure I tried the loop fitting it starts at 305. Should I trim the beginning of the seq file? Do I need to tailor this file for each structure I run it on?

Hi Kendall,
Usually that would mean that there is no segment in your model that has a gap in chain A missing residues 331-336 (6-residue gap).  It could also mean that the sequence could not be aligned with your sequence file.  Is one of those possible?

Dear PHENIX developers,
I am trying fit_loops for the first time and getting error message:
“No suitable gap found matching residues”

I’m not sure what the problem is.

Best regards,
