Hi Mary, I suggest to use a real modeling tool like MODELLER for this task.
Some modeling is possible with the sculpting feature, but you should keep in mind that it only tries to restore the starting conformation and to avoid clashes. There is no "real" molecular forcefield. Cheers, Thomas On 04/23/2012 08:36 PM, Mary Hall wrote: > Hello!
