[Chimera-users] Introduce a-helices into protein structure ab initio

[Chara Spanou]

Hello chimera-users,
I would like to introduce a-helices into my protein structure ab initio.
Is it possible to do this with chimera?
Another option that I have is to take a-helical pieces of sequence from a different model
and introduce these into the desired model.
Would that be more feasible?
There is a chance I also need to introduce loops and turns ab initio to best localize the
introduced a-helices within my protein structure.
Can you please indicate how can a chimera user build all this ab initio?

Thank you in advance for your time and help,
