What should we do if some residues are missing in crystal structure (PDB) while doing MD simulation? Sometimes, some residues of the proteins show less electron density in crystal analysis and their structure can not be fixed due to high flexibility. As we known, an initial structure is needed for MD simulation. If that is the case, what should we do? Using some software like MODELLER manually fix it or homology modeling (but difficult to find a template since in other protein, these peptide are also highly flexible)? Or we just leave it and run MD simulation using the parts that has crystal structure?
