Hi Maroli,
I am the author of [JPCA 2010, 114, 2376], [JPCB 2010, 114, 12183] and have performed some modeling and simulations with cyclic peptide rings/nanotubes.
You can use the following commands, which would give a correct treatment for the terminal residues in the peptide rings.
segment U {pdb cpn.pdb; first none; last none; auto none }
I don't know the how the informations and how many atoms in you pdb file. I have writen a smart script to generate the correct pdb file for cyclic peptide rings from the peptide sequence. If the segment command above still don't work, I could send my script to you.
According [JACS 2003, 125, 2756], "the minimum ring (residue) number is given as n = 6, i.e., an even number of n = 6, 8, 10, 12, ... is available ... ". So I also wonder why do you use only 4 residues (U:4 U:1).
Ragards,
Jian Liu

Subject: namd-l: PSF for CYCLIC PEPTIDE :
Dear All,
I wanted to do MD of cyclic peptide so for psf generation i done the following commands
package require psfgen
topology top_all27_prot_lipid.inp
segment U {
pdb cpn.pdb
auto none }
patch LINK U:4 U:1
coordpdb cpn.pdb U
regenerate angles dihedrals
guesscoord
writepdb cpn1.pdb
writepsf cpn1.psf
but end up in errors
(cpn) 8 % package require psfgen
topology top_all27_prot_lipid.inp
segment U {
pdb cpn.pdb
auto none }
patch LINK U:4 U:1
coordpdb cpn.pdb U
regenerate angles dihedrals
guesscoord
writepdb cpn1.pdb
writepsf cpn1.psf
1.6.2

i hope someone can help me out here
