Subbu,

Take a look at the following for an example of how to proceed.

J. Ay et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USAVol. 95, pp. 6613–6618, June
1998 Structure and function of the Bacillus hybrid enzyme GluXyn-1:
Native-like jellyroll fold preserved after insertion of autonomous
globular domain

Cheers,

Michael
