Re: [AMBER] Using chirality restraints for modified residues

Manually modify in xleap, or another graphic program if you have a
preference. xleap allows relaxing selected atoms according to general
hybridization geometries, but it's not the most used or polished
interface for that purpose I believe.

You don't need to have a new mol2 file, since the connectivity is the
same. Either loadpdb your fixed pdb from another program, or fix it in
xleap and saveamberparm from there (maybe savepdb at that point too, to
have the new coords in easy reference form).
