Dear Hayden,
The problem is with the hydrogen's in your pdb file. Yours have the name
format:
xHAx whereas xleap expects the format HAxx. Hence any hydrogen that starts
with a number instead of an H is being duplicated by xleap. Generally since
xleap will add missing hydrogens you are best off stripping all hydrogens
from your pdb file and then loading this into xleap. For all residues xleap
knows about it will then protonate them depending on their 'normal'
protonation state. This is why you need to rename histidine as either HID,
HIP HIE etc...
Anyway, I have attached several files for you that I have created with xleap
as follows (my nmr.1.pdb here has had the H's removed):
>xleap -s -f /usr/local/amber8/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ff99

So, I have saved you a pdb file that has the xleap added hydrogen atoms,
check these are correct. I have also saved you an OFF file (.lib) that can
be loaded back into leap with loadoff. This has the hydrogens added as well
as the 3 disulphide bonds created. The unit name in this OFF file is nmr1.
Your system has an overall charge of +5 so you should really charge
neutralise and solvate it before running MD. So use the lib file to do this
and create yourself new prmtop and inpcrd files that contain counter ions
and explicit water.
If you still have problems let me know what version of amber you are using
and if you have applied any of the bug fixes.
I hope this helps
All the best
Ross
