Hi, Thanks, i was thinking of a situation where one can model the sequence to a structure based
on homologous structures, ie assuming i know the fold -  i guess PISA / ASA  based estimates
are the first thing.

(mainly indeed the likelyhood to aggregate ie the surface property estimates are 
what i am looking for.)
