Hi

Are those  residues in the Nter/Cter ? If they are, perhaps leaving the 
protein
without them would be my first approach. The decision could pass by "knowing"
what's the biological relevance of those residues on the whole protein
structure.

If they are not terminal residues, then you could try to add them with a
molecular modeling program like (though 17 residues is a big chunk):
swisspdb viewer, jackal, PLOP ...

Best regards,
Nuno


Please suggest suggestions on how? I go about building these
