Hi James,

Sounds like you want a homology model type set up, ie generate coordinates based on a template. Modeller can do this and an easier way is via the swissmodel

http://swissmodel.expasy.org//SWISS-MODEL.html

If however you want a relatively random structure then pymol _can_ do this. Click on builder (top right og GUI) and then select protein. From here you can generate any sequence you want. You can then export this and use the program of your choice to run dynamics etc

Hope this helps

Hello,

This may be slightly off-topic, but I was wondering whether PyMol would allow one to enter a peptide sequence (generally short in length) to create a template structure that can then be used for structural refinements (minimizations, etc.) elsewhere.

If PyMol cannot do this, is anyone aware of any program (preferably Mac OS X or linux compatible) that would be able to do this?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

And apologies if this question is too far off-topic.

Regards,
james
