Hi Luke,
How big is your loop. I normally try to built it one molecule at a time from both ends of the loop in COOT, refine and re-try loop building. Some times, if the electron density is ok you can build the whole loop one amino-acid at a time by iterative COOT, refinement and loop building.

Hi All,

I am trying to see if I can save myself some time by using the loop fitting tools in Phenix. I think I am stalling out because of a trivial problem, but cursory googling, etc, has not helped. Sorry if I should have tried harder. I appreciate any help.

I am using the gui, dev-601. My fasta sequence gets read fine because the output reports the sequence of the missing residues. Whether I use the loop library or not, I get the following error:

Unable to find suitable gap to fill

Then it appears to try to build the loop using sequence from a different chain (I have three chains in my structure).

What am I doing wrong?

Luke
