What you wnat here is sequence { U5 C G3 }. This will "cap" the 5' and 3'
ends of the sequence in the intended way. Try that, and see if you get what
you want.

[Aside 1: when reading PDB files, tleap by default makes the first
nucleotide a 5' version, and the final nucleotide is made a 3' variant. But
this default doesn't persist into the "sequence" command: there you have to
specify the "5" and "3" labels specifically.]

[Aside 2: the three-dimensional structure you will get by just using a
sequence command may not be what you want. A general alternative is to use
a different program to create a three-dimensional structure, and then just
read that into tleap. (Amber's NAB is one such program, but probably not
the best one for most people today.) Remember that tleap is a very "dumb"
program -- it primarily does bookkeeping. Don't expect it to actually know
anything about RNA.]
