   NAOMI might do what you need - to give you an idea, here's how
you would build the sequence A K H at residue positions 14, 15 and
16 in the protein fold.

    tyra
    mutate 14 A
    mutate 15 K
    mutate 16 H
    end

  Look at:

  and:

    http://www.ocms.ox.ac.uk/~smb/Software/N_details/examples/side-chains.html

  If your backbone coordinates have the right amino acid residue sequence
  in the PDB file, you could instead use the command:

   tyra
   repair side-chains
   end


   which would do everything in one go.
