Find Homolog and Secondary Structure Prediction in Prime do not work. I do not have a local installation of the BLAST sequence database, so I was expecting these steps to access the NCBI site remotely. How can I fix this problem?
Starting with Suite 2011, the standard installation provides the necessary components to search for homologs/templates and to run secondary structure prediction by remotely accessing the NCBI (BLAST) site.
In Suite 2012, there is no difference in the installation between web-based searching and local searching.
In Suite 2011, it's possible that the necessary components were accidentally removed or corrupted. To reinstall them, download the following file.For Windows:
ftp://ftp.schrodinger.com/support/hidden/prime/Suite2011_webbased/Windows/Schrodinger_webBLAST_Windows.zip
For Linux:
ftp://ftp.schrodinger.com/support/hidden/prime/Suite2011_webbased/Linux/Schrodinger_webBLAST_Linux.tar
On Windows, unzip the file and choose as the destination folder the location of your Schrodinger installation (typically, C:\Schrodinger2011). On Linux, untar the file, cd into the Schrodinger_webBlast_Linux directory, and type ./INSTALL in a shell.
If you are using a proxy server for access to the web, you may have to set up access to run a BLAST search on the web.
