If you use the "sequence" command of LEaP to create a very long
peptide sequence, the conformation will be extended. If you solvate
the corresponding system the box size will be quite huge...

You might try to follow a different approach. Use a builder different
to LEaP to generate a PDB file that you will load in LEaP in a second
step. For instance insightII under SGI can do this job. I am sure you
can find other tools to do that...

Or you might try to build your peptide using a different approach in
LEaP. I did a quick test:

a = sequence { GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY GLY }
b = sequence { a a a a a a a a a a }
c = sequence { b b b b b b b b b b }
desc c

=> I get 1000 GLY residues without any problem.

did I miss something ?

regards, Francois
