It's not except if your protein of interest has considerable homology
to another protein the structure of which is known. Find out by
running BLAST or FASTA of your protein sequence against the NRL_3D
database.
Universal software of the kind you mention above would mean solving
the protein folding problem -- one of the greatest riddles in molecular
biology/biochemistry nowadays.
