Hi Laurie

Try and see :-)

If you have the exact structure of the 130aa protein, your chances are a
lot better than if it's some low homology thing.  Of course.  The first
question would, I think, rather be wether you *can* in fact place it
correctly;  if you're unlucky, this could itself be a problem.  

If you have it, and if you're lucky, Arp/Warp will build lots of the
second one.  SigmaA coefficients should do the job (unless I've missed
something), but if you struggle, you should think of using Buster, which
tries to be good at this sort of thing.  EDEN
(http://www.edencrystallography.com/) also tries to do this, using the
holographic method.  (I have no experience with it).
