psfgen - ACE cap on PRO

Hello,

    I have attempted to use the autopsf package to create a topology for
an N-terminus ACE cap on a proline residue. The initial pdb looked a bit strange
in VMD which I thought might be an artifact that would resolve after
minimization. However, after 2000 steps of minimization, I still see a strange
topology rendered for the ACE-PRO structure in VMD. I have listed my pdb
and psf file portions below. My minimization was done
using par_all27_prot_na.prm.

Thanks, Marc
