If you have the target/forward database, use the TPP's Pentunia interface
to generate the reverse decoy database.  This will annotate the decoys
properly.

Or if you have perl installed, you can issue a command like this on your
decoy database:

   perl  -i  -pe  's/^>/>REVERSED_/g;'  decoy.fasta

This is assuming you want "REVERSED_" as your decoy prefix.  Using the
protein description in your original example, ">sw|P84710_REVERSED|",  you
will end up with ">REVERSED_sw|P84710_REVERSED|" but this is fine.
