	George Rose coauthored a paper earlier in 1995 on a computer model 
called LINUS which predicts 3o structure from 1o.  The model exploits 3 
fundamental assumptions, one of which is conserving correct sequences through 
5,000 iterations.  I have yet to read the paper myself, but I intend to 
shortly.  This sounds like it applies directly to your project..good luck
