As is often the case with TIM barrels, we had a lot of difficulty aligning the strands to orient the polar residues the right way. We had no trouble forming very pretty barrels, but they often had polars buried under the helices. After fussing with alignments and sheet constraints, we finally got a barrel model that seemed adequate. At that point we noticed that the remainder of the protein was still disordered. We chopped it off as a separate domain (something we should have done much sooner), and optimized it separately. We first tried splitting at H236, but decided that the helix N253-L271 belongs to the barrel domain, so split again at G274. We did further optimization of the barrel domain by itself, though the automatic prediction from the domain as target was pretty good. We ended up cutting-and-pasting in a strand from a model we had previously generated, though, since K50 and Q52 faced the wrong way in the moels generated automatically from the domain alone. The second domain did have a fold-recognition match that optimized fairly easily, so we pasted the two domains back together and did an optimization run with undertaker to fix up the breaks and clashes between the domains. This is try12-opt2, the best-scoring model with an unconstrained undertaker costfcn. The E22 residue has somehow worked its way to the outside of the barrel, though it is in the right phase of the strand to be on the inside.
