Hi Francesco,
The key question is, are the CHARMMGEN .inp/.rtf files correct? Either
they are wrong, or one of the assumptions that autopsf makes is invalid
for that structure and you need to change your settings. The best way to
check is to (a) manually inspect the .inp/.rtf files and make sure that
the atoms and connectivity match your expectations, and (b) try
generating the ibuprofen using psfgen instead of autopsf so that you
have finer control over what is being done to the molecule.
Best,
Peter
