[BiO BB] Generate Quaternary structure of protein from monomer

[Dr.Nagasuma Chandra]

Hi Subhash

  First of all, you need to be sure that your model will have the same 
quaternary arrangement as your template. There are a number of examples, 
where diversity is observed in  quaternary structure even when subunit 
structures (and their sequences) show high similarity (>50-70%). Plant 
lectins are a classic example. If you are sure of the type of quaternary 
association, either from biochemical data and/or  structural analysis of 
your model and its comparison to the template, it is relatively simple to 
apply the translational and rotational matrices to obtain a multimer.

Hope this helps
