I don't understand why you have long distances between atoms...is that true
for the coordinates you are inputting? Check these distances by hand. Are
they wrong in the pdb file?

When you say you "don't see a bond" what do you mean? Are you using xleap
or some other visualization program? Connectivities are not in the pdb files,
so visualization programs have to guess. If you indeed have the "long
distances" mentioned above, a pdb visualization program might decide there
is no bond.
You can use the "desc" command in LEaP to see what bonds are actually in your
system.
