To analyze possible conformers avalible to your model, you can run a
molecular dynamics simulation with implicit or explicit solvent. On the
latter case you first add a water shell to your model and minimize just the
water shell, and after that you minimize the water-protein assambly. Finally
you run a looooooooong dynamic, sample conformations at regular intervals of
the simulation and voila!! You now have several conformers of your model!!
You can do a search on NCBI Pubmed to get more info on this (software,
parameters, etc). As always, what you do is defined by your needs and the
computing resources available to you.
I hope this helps,
Kind regards, Luis.
