Hello netters,

I am trying to do MM calculations for interactions between a protein and 
a surface. I would like to construct different atomic level models for the
surface and "dock" a protein to them. Could anyone point me to a reference
in a literature or existing software that could handle such a relatively
big system (~40000 atoms) and estimate the "most favorable" position of a
protein on atomic surfaces. I am quite new to this area of surface
simulations, so any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
