Re: AMBER: Free energy for L and D amino acids

usually the differences in stability of proteins with D or L amino
acids come from the change in conformation or side chain
packing. You could do these but sampling the conformational
change from the L-->D change could be very slow. I would
expect this to require a lot of knowledge about how to run
free energy calculations- it's not a simple one.
