Is this possible?
Well, if you know the phi/psi angles you like, then you could just build it and specify those angles with my build_seq.py script: http://adelie.biochem.queensu.ca/~rlc/work/pymol/build_seq.py You can specify the phi, psi angles on the command line. Alternatively, you can create a file of resname, phi, psi and build it with: http://adelie.biochem.queensu.ca/~rlc/work/pymol/build_seq_phi_psi.py if you don't want the phi/psi angles to be the same for every residue.
