tleap is putting a TER card after DB because there are no bonds between
the DB residue and what follows: the expected O3' -- P bond is not
there. (You can see this by loading your prmtop file into parmed, and
using the printBonds command.)
The missing bond is in turn caused by these lines in your db.lib file:
!entry.DB.unit.connect array int
1
35
Atom 35 (which is H22) is the not the atom that should be bonded to the
next residue (i.e. it is not a proper "connect" atom.) It should be 32
instead (which is O3').
If you make that change, you'll get prmtop/inpcrd that look fine, and
the minimized structure doesn't seem to have any problems. If you use
the "savePdb" command in tleap, it is still putting in a TER card: I
don't yet know why. But if you use ambpdb to make the pdb file from the
prmtop and inpcrd files, there is no extra TER card. So you should go
that route if you need a proper PDB file.
