<font color="red">Caution 1:</font> For long untemplated regions (e.g. 87 residues), the untemplated query residues are omitted from the 3D model, effectively ligating** the templated boundary residues together. The omission fails to reveal, in the 3D model, that a large untemplated region exists.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>Covalent peptide bonds between amino acids are not explicit in [[PDB files]], but all commonly used software places covalent bonds based on interatomic distances. Thus, when a spatial gap is omitted in the 3D model, the two residues abutting the gap are effectively ligated.
