Does the RCSB file have multiple models in it? That might explain the
warnings (or might not...it is impossible to tell without more information).
You should always run input pdb files through pdb4amber, whcih can help you
choose models.

??? This sounds odd, but I don't know what coordinates you are extracting
from the PDB.

I think you need to give more detailed information. If you added an NHE cap
to the end of the peptide, there should not have been any CLEU residue.
Remember the usual advice: tell us what you actually did, (i.e. the commands
you actually ran), not what you hoped to accomplish.

Please see above. See if you can understand in detail the warnings about
atom proximities. If the polypeptide part is problematic, it won't matter
what you did with the PEG.
