Subject: Modeling of anchored chains
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I have a need to model, with molecular mechanics, a system consisting of 
long chains anchored to a solid support at one end and small 
biomacromolecules at the other end of the chains.  The systems are chains 
anchored to large silica surfaces by silanol groups.  I would appreciate 
pointers about building the model.

My modeling software includes ChemOffice (Win98) and Tinker and Gromacs 
running in Linux.

Thanks in advance.
