Hi Osvaldo,

unfortunately PyMOL doesn't handle to set dihedrals in rings, so you have to 
break the ring first. Consider this:

def set_phi(resi, phi, state=1, quiet=1):
    x = cmd.index('(first (resi %s and guide)) extend 2 and name C+N+CA' % resi)
    try:
        a = cmd.get_model(x[2], state).atom[0]
        if a.name != "CA":
            raise IndexError
    except IndexError:
        print " missing atoms"
        return
    if a.resn == "PRO":
        bondargs = (x[1], "resi %s and name CD" % resi)
        cmd.unbond(*bondargs)
    cmd.set_dihedral(x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3], phi, state, quiet)
    if a.resn == "PRO":
        cmd.bond(*bondargs)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
  Thomas
