Re: [AMBER] changing chirality with ParmEd?

another option that may work better for a protein is to edit the PDB file,
deleting all of the side chain atoms on this amino acid except the CA and
HA. Then, change chirality by swapping the coordinates of these 2 atoms.
Save and load it into Leap, which should rebuild any missing atoms. Of
course it won't have an ideal conformation and may have steric clashes, but
it's a starting point for minimization (and very careful checking of the
results).
