Capping peptides is non-trivial, so the error may have been introduced there - certainly the approach you stated is not what I or others have used successfully. There have been a number of posts discussing how to do this, check the archives.

As a first stage, I minimized single capped trp molecule, and then used it with genconf command along with the options -rot ans -nbox. In this case, I changed the gro file of capped trp molecule such that it was treated as a single molecule rather than three (cappes and the trp molecule itself). (It was necessary to be able to use that molecule with genconf command.) After that, I could obtain a box of trp molecules. However, when I looked at it by using VMD, I saw that some of them had unusual bonds. So it caused not to minimization of my system. The steepest descent minimization was terminated before the desired criterion was reached. Although I used a minimized capped trp molecule with genconf command, the resultant box contained some trp molecules that have unusual structures. How can I overcome that problem? Thanks in advance...
