Hi,

Actually you can use the flip command to do that in combination with sequence.

An example for alanine dipeptide:

###
source leaprc.ff14SB
ala = sequence {ACE ALA NME}

# Save standard L peptide (for comparison)
savepdb ala 2ala-L.pdb

# Select the chiral carbon(s) to be flipped
select ala.2.CA
# Flip selection
flip ala
# Save D peptide
savepdb ala 2ala-D.pdb

quit
###


Best,

Antoine

Yes if you are loading a pdb file, but not by using the sequence command.
