Dear RIMJHIM MORA,
I guess, your problem is the automatic transformation of the terminal
residues into their ionic forms via leap, i.e. protonated N-terminus and
deprotonated C-terminus. This is done in leap regardless of any bond
command you issue.
A simple solution for cyclic peptides is to provide leap with the actual
sequence of your system, i.e. using the command loadpdbusingseq.
Assuming a sample peptide with eight residues (AGLVDNKC), you could
issue something like the following in your leap input:
# [... initial parameter loading]
# Define sequence for cyclic peptide without terminal NALA and CCYS
seq = { ALA GLY LEU VAL ASP ASN LYS CYS }
# Load structure of cyclic peptide
cyclicpeptide = loadPDBusingseq peptide.pdb seq
# Form cyclic peptide bond
bond cyclicpeptide.1.N cyclicpeptide.8.C
# [ ... other leap stuff, save files etc]
Other ways to alleviate the automatic terminal residue transformation
exist, though (see the Amber mailing list archive for similar questions).
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Anselm
P.S.:
Bill, sorry for extra-posting!

I am using the command "bond m.1.N m.8.C" (m is the defined name of the pdb in xleap) to form the bond between the terminal residues but after saving the pdb, it is automatically being converted into the free terminals. Please suggest me if there is any other way to do the same. Thank you in advance.
