Ok, i'm totally convinced of that now.

I have been looking in the mailing list and the
documentation, but i can't find a way to modify
(mutate) a residue. Could you tell me where can i find
that information?, Or give a short code example?

I want to transform every residue to alanin... so for
most of them, i just need to erase everything after
the Cb (beta-carbon)... but with glycin i need to
recalculate the coordinates of the newly added Cb...
and of course, add this atom to the system. Until now
i have been using a Biopython script to calculate the
new coordinates throug a rotation of N atom.

I need a little help  in the mutating code to start
working.

Thanks a lot Konrad.
