This would go beyond the general philosophy of molecular mechanics,
where the whole system is build from simple basic units.
Going along Francois's line we would need totally different set of charges
for let's say GLY-ALA and ALA-GLY (all L-type).
I think the simplest case to show that the charges need to be the same in
R or S isomer would be to calculate them for le'ts say to optical
isomers of CHFCLBR
