Answer» Right choice is (b) In the sequence alignment for modeling, there are no regions PRODUCING gaps in sequence alignment To explain I WOULD say: Closing the gaps requires loop modeling, which is a very difficult problem in homology modeling and is also a major source of error. Loop modeling can be CONSIDERED a mini–protein modeling problem by itself. Unfortunately, there are no mature methods AVAILABLE that can model loops reliably. Currently, there are two main techniques used to approach the problem: the database searching METHOD and the ab initio method.
