Hi, I need to use an own file as a template to modeling on Chimera (using Modeller).
When I try to blast my sequence only find the option to query structures available on PDB Web Site. Does someone know how to use an own structural template?
You pre-load the local pdb file into Chimera using the "File/open" dialog rather than "fetch":
check here https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/multalignviewer.html#approaches for step by step instructions for the different approaches:
"
Starting with a structure already known to be a suitable template:
open the structure(s)
if a single template structure, start Sequence to show its sequence
if multiple template structures, use the Align Chain Sequences tool to generate a multiple alignment from their sequences
add the target sequence to align it to the template sequence(s) (Edit... Add Sequence in the Multalign Viewer menu)
if needed, realign the sequences to further improve the multiple alignment (Edit... Realign Sequences in the Multalign Viewer menu)
