Hello, 

I have a homology model that I would like to use as my starting PDB for 
simulated annealing. However, I am having trouble generating PSF and PDB files 
from the starting PDB file. The starting PDB file does not have any side chain 
protons. The last atom on the starting PDB file is: 

ATOM   1092  OXT VAL  181      21.394   9.485  -2.085  1.00  0.00 

when I use a generate.inp script, I get 

 %ATMCHK-ERR: unknown coordinates for atom "    -181 -VAL -OT1 :"  9999.000  
9999.000  9999.000 
 %ATMCHK-ERR: unknown coordinates for atom "    -181 -VAL -OT2 :"  9999.000  
9999.000  9999.000 
 %ATMCHK-ERR: Unknown coordinates 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
 BOMLEV=    0 reached.  Program execution will be terminated. 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
 Subroutine DIE called . Terminating 

So.... I deleted the OXT line to see if generate.inp would pick OT1 and OT2 
values for me, but the same error occured. 

Then... I replaced the OXT line with two lines labeled OT1 and OT2 (tried it 
two ways, with coordinates of 0, 0, 0, and coordinates that were in the 
ballpark of my other coordinates). 

This gave me the error I'm most confused about: Earlier in the output file, I 
see the following: 

 COOR>!EXPDTA    MODEL, MODELLER Version  6v2 2004/10/04  14:27:21.443 
 COOR>ATOM      1  N   ASN    37     -21.045  -1.061  -4.921  1.00  0.00 
 COOR>ATOM      2  CA  ASN    37     -20.826  -0.456  -6.252  1.00  0.00 
 %COOR-ERR: ERROR during reading coordinates 
 %COOR-ERR: unrecognized command: 
 ATOM 
 ^^^^ 
 CREAD: reading a harvard coordinate file 
 %COOR-ERR: ERROR during reading coordinates 
 %COOR-ERR: unrecognized command: 
 ATOM   1091  OT1 
              ^^^ 
 %COOR-ERR: unrecognized command: 
 ATOM   1091  OT1 VAL 

And the error ^^^ symbols continue to advance word by word through the next 
several lines. So, to me it looks like it sees the word "ATOM" of atoms of 1091 
and 1092 as an error, even though the lines for atoms 1091 and 1092 are 
formatted exactly the same as all the other lines above. It's true that I 
inserted these lines and made up OT1 and OT2 values, but the error begins even 
before those made up values are read. 

I looked very carefully to make sure that I used O and zero correctly on these 
lines. I also did everything in vi, so I don't think there are any 
incompatibilites with a text editor.  All of the pdb files that I am trying to 
use as input (the one with OX1, the one with no terminal O, and the one with 
invented OT1 and OT2) are readable by a pdb reader (Pymol), and identical 
overlying structures are seen. 

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong, or other approaches to 
making psf and pdb files from an incomplete pdb file? 

I hope that all made sense, and I really appreciate any thoughts or comments. 

Thank you, 
Andrea
