Thanks David.
Will try your suggestions. The changes is about 0.1A.

Best,

This is odd: it would be nice if you could create a small example showing
the problem. What do you mean by the term "slightly"?

Also, try adding the following command at the beginning of your
tleap script, to see if it helps:

    set default nocenter on

But this is a guess: if the WT and mutated atoms have identical coordinates
in the input structure, that relationship should not be changed by tleap.
