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
