Hi,

The wiki has a page on this:

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Peptide_Sequence

except it doesn't mention the zwitterion details. There's a link to
Robert Campbell's scripts to do this sort of thing, so maybe the
answer is there.

As for for loops, this is best in a full python script (run with
"run"). In fact, your pseudocode is almost valid python. More like:

residues = ("A", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H"  etc)

for residue in residues:
     for i in range(3):
        cmd._alt(residue.lower())
     cmd.set_geometry ??

cmd.save(aa.pdb, "all")

Unfortunately, I'm not sure the set_geometry command is right.
