<div>Thank you for your help. I want to calculate binging free energy of small molecules to protein termini. </div>

That will make your life doing simulations considerably more difficult, and not just in choosing a starting structure.

<div>I submitted the sequence to <a href="http://www.proteinmodelportal.org/" target="_blank">www.proteinmodelportal.org</a> obtaining different structures based on different proteins from Protein Data Bank. For instance my N terminal has 180 aa. Obtained models covers %Seq id of 78% for 36 residues, 68% for 36 different residues, 62% of 36 another residues and many other models below 50%. The website provides you with the PDB files of your query so sounds perfect as you do not have to mutate every residue one by one. </div>
<div>The question is whether this is efficent and provide a good result to use such protein in my simualtions? Is this app. too big? </div></blockquote><br></div>Depends what simulations you plan - but very likely you will not be able to study more than one or two candidate structures.
