Homology modelling

We modeled the 3D structure of our peptide-containing scaffolds (domain B1 of protein G from Staphylococcus aureus) by homology modelling. We used Modeller library to accomplish that; since the peptide is about 20-25 amino acid residues long, it can be modeled as a loop inside the B1 domain scaffold for which there are already a number of 3D structures available at the Protein Data Bank.



Figure: Depicting the procedure for Homology modeling: All peptides were cloned inside a scaffold (B1 domain of protein G from Staphylococcus aureus. The peptides were short enough to be modeled as an internal loop by loop refinement; however, these structures should only be considered as a working model, since we don't have direct crystallographic data.
