hello everybody, i am tryong to model the structure of enzyme which is crosslinked homodimeric protein two identical chains of protein are crosslinked in opposite orientation to form the two compete active sites. that is, both chains contribute fo the foramtion of aech of the active site. (there are 64 hydrogen bonds involved in inetaction between two chains) i tried to model to chains seperatly and superimpossed bsed on template, but the orientation of the chains is not giving the proper active site, so how i can model the whole protein, i.e. both the chains simultaneously so that i can get full active site? or is there any way by which seperatly modeled chaines can be put together? please suggest any solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance.
