Sepideh,
concerning your two issues:
1, minimization
Maybe your system is too strained initially (e.g. because your input
geometry does not reflect the peptide bond reflecting the cyclic peptide
structure, but it's hard to tell without knowing more details).
A normal piece of advice would be to print out the structure at every
simulation step, so you can visualize the course of that minimization
and perhaps see, what's going wrong. Maybe you can use a less-strained
input structure.
2, D-/L-peptide
A D-configuration of a residue read-in from an external file is not
changed by tleap. If you, however, only have the backbone atoms present
in your input structure, tleap will add the side chain (i.e. the missing
atoms) in L-configuration, since this is the structure stored in the
parameter data base.
Maybe this helps.
Good luck,
Anselm
