What is MODELLER?
MODELLER is most frequently used for homology modeling of protein structure by satisfaction of spatial restraints 1:
The user provides an alignment of a sequence to be modeled with known related structures and MODELLER will automatically calculate a model with all non-hydrogen atoms.

Tutorial 1:
The MODELLER software is a set of python scripts and all steps can be accomplished via line-command: this is what is explored in the first tutorial.

- sequence files: blbp.fasta, 1HMS_A.fasta
Tutorial 2:
The graphical interface of Chimera can be used to run MODELLER
- MODELLER II: Chimera GUI interface. (same content, different formats)
