Generating models for missing loops in proteins is not something that Amber
is very good at. *Refining* these loops after initial coordinates are
available is something that often works. You can see some examples here:
Systematic comparison of Amber and Rosetta energy functions for protein
structure evaluation. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 14, 6015-6025 (2018).
This study used Rosetta to generate the initial candidate models, but other
tools to do this are also available. Note that you probably want to
generate a significant number of initial structures, then choose good ones
from such an ensemble.
