Good Morning,
working on a personal project I've recently obtained the accession to a server in order to run Multiple Structural Alignment process on it instead of using my pc that I require for studying (I'm a student).
So, I use MUSTANG to compute the multiple structural alignment over a set of PDB files.
I run mustang with the following command on a Screen form the directory where I've got all the PDB file (Edited and so with just one chain) and the file that list path and pdb id :
mustang -f ListPdbMust21.txt -F ‘fasta’ -r ‘ON’ 2> Output_Error.txt ; echo ‘Must END’ | mail -s ‘PROJECT NOTIFICATION’ My_Email@domain.it
Checking the process on the screen the parsing procedure seems to be concluded fine and the computation of the pairwise alignment too. Redirecting the stderr to the Output_Error.txt didn't produce anything.
In spite of this no output files are produced by mustang.
Now I'm quite confused.. Do I miss something about how mustang works on server? There is nothing about it on the mustang manual.
Is there a file called 'core' in the directory where you ran MUSTANG? I find that it crashes on some inputs after the pairwise alignments, but before producing any output.
No, nothing called ''core''
Have you tried other inputs? You could just check if it produces an alignment of two chains only, it shouldn't take too long.
I can't see anything wrong with your parameters or anything. If MUSTANG produces an alignment for a different set of files, then it could just be that it's crashing on the original input data.
I've run mustang over 2 structures and I've also tried specifying directly through the command path and structures.
In both case everything was completed fine and correctly.
I'm not able to explain why, I've applied the same procedure.
