Docking is very non-reliable.

 Hello,

 Thank you for detailed explanation, surely it is helping me to sort 
 out the possibilities. As per your query

 a) There are many references that the protein is a Hexamer, but I am 
 considering, because the domain which I have got structure, interacts 
 with other proteins to make a biological complex, their interaction 
 could be important for biological hexamerization of the whole complex 
 ( those interacting proteins also exist as hexamer in complex with my 
 protein )

 b) I coudnt find any hexameric homologue (although there are some good 
 homologue structures but they mostly exist as dimer or monomer)

 c) the structure is not yet been solved and not reported as yet. 

 So according your reply, does that mean the only possibility left is 
 docking ? because others are not working for me at all. 

 Thank you again for suggestions.

 Hi Humayun,

 Crystallograpic symmetries are often not of much help to construct
 biologically relevant complexes. Do you have (a) a reference of the
 hexameric structure, or (b) of a hexameric homologue, or (c) is it
 only known to form hexamers and is the structure still unsolved? In
 case of (a), the structure is likely to have a recipe to build the
 biological unit (possibly as REMARK 350 in the PDB file). In case of
 (b), you can try to fit copies of the structure onto each chain of the
 homologue, being aware that that will give you a crude approximation
 as starting point for further work. And in case of (c), you might want
 to consider doing some docking.

 Hope it helps,

 Tsjerk

  Also, if you would like to try homology modelling then that
 could work.
  However you would need a couple of hexamer strucutres to start
 with. It
  would probably take some tinkering with current tools. I would
 probably use
  an MD approach

But maybe you can have a try: HADDOCK seems to give good results, once you
have defined the symmetry of your complex...

See:
Mol. Cell. Proteomics 2010
'Building macromolecular assemblies by information-driven docking:
introducing the HADDOCK multi-body docking server' Karaca E. et al.
