Do the disulfide bonds appear to be in the right place? If so, you can relax the structure using minimization, etc.

I was wondering if it is appropriate to use - if possible at all - tleap to adjust the bond length to this cutoff distance. But even if it were, wouldn't this create "distortions" elsewhere?
