You need to build it into your topology in the first place. See the "PRES DISU" patch in the charmm topology file. You add patches after you generate segments but before adding coordinates with psfgen.

During the minimization and equilibriation with protein constrained, the disulfide bond breaks. What can be the possible cause for this or does it happens naturally during the minimization? Are there any means to preserve disulfide bond?
