You don't need to do this: pdb files don't contain that sort of information.

I'm not sure why the chain order will change, but it should not matter: tleap
numbers the residues sequentially, starting with "1" for the first residue in
the PDB file. So as long as each new residue has a residue number different
from the previous one, you should be fine.
Notes: you will still, of course, need to constuct the library for your
serine+inhibitor combo. See tutorial B5 to help get started. Also, if you
have thousands of residues, consider trying some small test simulations
(including the inhibitor) to make sure everything seems to be working before
embarking on the full project.
