Since parmed is reporting a non-neutral system, you might want to
investigate what happened at the tleap stage.

Generally, you want the TI regions to be small, and not include atoms that
are not changing between the end states. IF the DNA residues are unchanged
between the two end states, you (generally) don't want them to be in the TI
regions. Others may have other things to advise here, since I don't do very
many TI calculations any more.

Given what you said, there are very odd values. If residues 1-25 are DNA,
why aren't the net charges negative? Does the ligand have an overall charge
of 4, which might somehow explain the difference between TI region 1 and
region 2?
