Hi Vlad,
one must **always** use the same atom names as are in the topology file,
so it is not surprising that you ran into problems.
The reason that autopsf split your molecule into separate segments is
that it didn't recognize it as a polymer (I only have code in there to
recognize proteins or nucleic acids). You should be able to use the
chains interface to delete the automatically generated ones and add one
that contains all of the residues. The best solution if you're going to
do this a lot is to add the bonds to the topology file.
Best,
Peter
