Hi Lucie,
the reason you're getting those extra protons is that the default
patching in most of the topology files you'll run across is NTER, so the
NTER patch is applied unless you say otherwise. So in your initial
segment generation, what you ought to do instead is
segment CYP {
pdb cyp3a4_noheme_nopatch.pdb
first ACE
last CT2
}
to avoid getting the autopatches in place of the ones you want.
