Preparing Proteins with Missing Residues or Side Chains<br />

Figure 3.6 Prime Find Homologs window<br />

Click the ‘Import’ button to read in<br />

the truncated 1su4 protein<br />

structure file so it can be used as<br />

a self-template.<br />

Now it is time to ʹfoolʹ Prime. Instead of reading the structures of sequence<br />

homologues to be used as structural templates—as we would do for comparative<br />

modeling—we will read in the truncated 1su4 protein structure file so it can<br />

be used as a self‐template.<br />

e. Click Import under Find Homologs.<br />

The Import Homolog From PDB File window appears as shown in Figure 3.7.<br />

Figure 3.7 Import Homolog From PDB File window in Prime<br />

Locate and select the<br />

truncated 1su4 protein<br />

structure file that has the<br />

missing residues.<br />

Click the ‘Import’<br />

button.<br />

f. Select the truncated 1su4 protein structure file that has the missing residues<br />

from the Files area. In this example, it is the 1su4_missing_loop.pdb file which<br />

was manually altered to remove residues 132–136. Click Import.<br />
