Homology modeling in short…. Prediction of structure based upon a highly similar structure. 2 basic assumptions: Structure defines how sequence defines function During evolution structures are more conserved than sequence. Use one structure to predict another. Homology modeling. Yes we can.

Homology modeling in short… • Prediction of structure based upon a highly similar structure • 2 basic assumptions: • Structure defines how sequence defines function • During evolution structures are more conserved than sequence Use one structure to predict another
Homology modeling Yes we can % identity O * # residues * Actually, modelling is possible here, but we cannot get an alignment… O Example: by 80 residues 30% identity is (just) sufficient

3: Backbone generation • Making the model…. • Copy backbone of template to model • Make deletions as discussed • (Keep conserved residues)
5: Side-chain modeling • Several options • Libraries of preferred rotamers based upon backbone conformation
6: Model optimization • Molecular dynamics simulation • Remove big errors • Structure moves to lowest energy conformation
7: Model Validation • Second opinion by PDBreport /WHAT IF • Errors in active site? new alignment/ template • No errors? Model!
