hi shameer,

If you know the homologous peptide fragment with known
structure corresponding your target peptide then using SCWRL program you
can replace side chains and minimize it to get fairly good initial model.

SCWRL is available form Dunbracks lab
http://dunbrack.fccc.edu/SCWRL3.php
Web Server: http://www1.jcsg.org/scripts/prod/scwrl/serve.cgi

or you can also use one of the modules of SYBYL or insightII to model
small peptides.

or use The Dundee PRODRG2 Server
http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/programs/prodrg/

or use DSDBASE to model disulphide rich peptides
http://caps.ncbs.res.in/dsdbase/dsdbase.html

all the above and many more softwares are available with different rates
of accuracies.

cheers
