Probably the simplest way does not involve MODELLER. Check out SCWRL (http://dunbrack.fccc.edu/SCWRL3.php);
it's a simple program designed for the exact task you described. It is
available for various operating systems.
Good luck,
Tom

on my 'backbone only' structures, but without moving the backbone atoms at
all. Could you tell me if this is possible and maybe point me to the part of
the manual which describes the process.
Many Thanks Diana
