Try it, before asking about it :-) I said "I suspect you do not need
to change anything about the topology", but I haven't actually done
anything like this ever. Topologies and code shouldn't care about
chirality, so you shouldn't need to do anything other than input the
configuration you want.<br>

Unlike (say) AMBER's leap, pdb2gmx doesn't generate
coordinates in a general sense. It generates a topology that
matches given coordinates, fixing a few details as directed.
It will fill valences with hydrogen atoms, generate terminal
groups, organize disulfides, and choose protonation states
of titratable residues, but it won't change geometries in
the way you seem to want.<br>
<br>
Neither does anything in the .top/.itp files stipulate the
chirality of any center (in all-atom models). Various
dihedral angles change sign with chirality, but the dihedral
functions are all symmetric about the y-axis (i.e. even). So
I suspect you do not need to change anything about the
topology. Just use a molecule builder to change the
chirality of the relevant center in the input file to
pdb2gmx.<br>
