Hello Francesco,
If you want to mutate a residue, you can try the swapaa command:
For instance:
swapaa val #0:12.a lib Dunbrack preserve true
where val is the target mutation, #0 gives the model number of the peptide
in Chimera, 12.a says to make the mutation on residue position 12 of chain a,
lib Dunbrack tells to use the Dunbrack rotamer library, and preserve true tries
to keep the rotamer of the mutation close to the original one.
Hope this helps,
Tim

Hello:
New to modify structure. I would like to modify a peptide by changing
ARG to VAL. As I wanted to start from the conformer containing ARG, I
tried to delete bonds, in the hope to finally change one H to CH3.
None worked in my hands.
Thanks for suggestions.
