Protein domains are polypetide chains which contain between 40 and 250 amino acids. If the information I need to create a computer program which randomly generates the secondary structure is available, the next logical step is to create a program which randomly generates a protein domain.

However, nothing I've read has even provided the range of amino acids in the secondary structure. Based on the pictures of every textbook I've read, it appears as though the secondary structure is composed of roughly dozen amino acids. Although, to create a computer program I need much more precise information.
