Stan...Molscript does not predict structure but it does display structure
(very nicely IMHO). Are you looking for 2ndary structure from AA sequence??
or CD data?? or a program for pulling the structural elements from a protein
data bank file???...there are programs for all but I don't have the info
handy. I'm sure someone will post the info you are looking for.
cheers & good luck

MolScript v1.3 (C) 1992 Per Kraulis
===================================
MolScript is a program for creating molecular graphics in the form of
PostScript plot files. Possible representations are simple wire models,
CPK spheres, ball-and-stick models, text labels and Jane Richardson-type
schematic drawings of proteins, based on atomic coordinates in various
formats. Colour, greyscale, shading and depth cueing can be applied to
the various graphical objects.
