There is not much to go on here: we don't know how you are describing the
nanotube, or what behavior you expect. The two pretty obvious caclulations to
try are these:
1. Do a calcuation of just the protein in ff02 (You should use the ".R1"
version, e.g. "source oldff/leaprc.ff02pol.r1". I don't know where you got
leaprc.ff02 from, perhaps an old version of Amber? Note that the "oldff"
designation means that these force field is no longer supported or
recommended, and is only provided if comparisons to old simulations are
needed.) See if a simple system (perhaps even a peptide) works the way you
hope it will. This will help eliminate possible problems with the nanotube
part.
2. Do a calculation with a non-polarizable potential. This will help make
sure that the system is working OK (or not) in the absence of polarizability.
Upgrading to the current version of Amber will make it much easier for people
on the list to provide help.
