Thank you Dr. Case, I will try to fix this and run again.

You have close contacts in your struture. If you load the prmtop and inpcrd
files into cpptraj, and type "checkoverlap" and then "go", you will see this:
1 Warning: Atoms 15:LYS_1.HD3 and 27:LEU_2.H are close (0.63)
1 Warning: Atoms 22:LYS_1.HZ3 and 44:LEU_2.O are close (0.60)
If you haven't done so (it's not clear) you need to minimize the structure
before running molecular dynamics. In most cases, bad contacts like this are
easily fixed by a few hundred steps of minimization.
...good luck....dac
