xleap does not change the input coordinates (other than in some cases to
center the molecule in a box). So, the bond length you get when you save
a pdb file in leap will be whatever value that bond length had in the input
PDB file.
If you follow up with a minimization, you should see the C1'-N9 bond length
move closer to the equilibrium distance specified in the parm10.dat file.
If you didn't load a pdb file, but just used the coordinates in the input
library, the same logic holds: all you are seeing is the (somewhat odd)
C1'-N bond length in the standard library. The origin of these coordinates
is lost in the mist of pre-history (generated sometime in the 1980's?).
Again, you should try a minimization and see what happens.
...good luck...dac
