3 Comparative <strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Structure</strong> Modelling 61All current comparative modelling methods consist of five sequential steps. Thefirst step is <strong>to</strong> search for proteins <strong>with</strong> known 3D structures that are related <strong>to</strong> thetarget sequence. The second step is <strong>to</strong> pick those structures that will be used as templates.The third step is <strong>to</strong> align their sequences <strong>with</strong> the target sequence. The fourthstep is <strong>to</strong> build the model for the target sequence given its alignment <strong>with</strong> the templatestructures. The last step is <strong>to</strong> evaluate the model, using a variety of criteria.There are several computer programs and web servers that au<strong>to</strong>mate the comparativemodelling process (Table 3.1). While the web servers are convenient anduseful (Battey et al. 2007; Fernandez-Fuentes et al. 2007a; Rai et al. 2006; Y. Zhang2007), the best results are still obtained by non-au<strong>to</strong>mated, expert use of the variousmodelling <strong>to</strong>ols (Kopp et al. 2007).
