Hi Amy,
the simplest way is probably to use Schroedinger's CoordGen to generate
coordinates::
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem.Draw import rdDepictor
rdDepictor.SetPreferCoordGen(True)
peptide = Chem.MolFromSmiles("CC(C)C[C@H](NC(=O)OCC1=CC=CC=C1)C(=O)N[C@
@H](CC1CCNC1=O)C=O")
rdDepictor.Compute2DCoords(peptide)
0
peptide

Should this fail for other peptides, get in touch as there are alternative
ways.
Cheers,
p.
