Hello.

I have done something quite similar; please see

	Hassinen T.; Peräkylä M. J Comput Chem 22, 1229-1242 (2001)

I have used 1-3 mass points / amino acid residue, and a solvent-accessible
surface based solvation model. The program is also available (with source
code) at

	http://www.bioinformatics.org/ghemical

If you have any further questions, I would be glad to answer.

Regards,

	Tommi Hassinen
