Hi,

I'm trying to construct a de novo model of membrane which is a huge protein of around 2220 residues and having 6 domains. Homology modeling failed due to lack of template. Hence, initially I constructed it as segments, joined them and the final model was simulated. But, I got a completely distorted and invalid structure where the secondary elements are not in line with the membrane.

So I decided to construct the de novo models of each domain rather than constructing a complete model so that I can orient them to the membrane. But this time also I failed to orient them into a membrane span. 

Can anybody please suggest a solution for this problem?

Many thanks. I'm grateful for your suggestions and solutions.
