Hi Deepti,
which version of VMD are you using?? Did you try to load the .top and
.crd files or only the .pdb file ?
Old versions of VMD would add bonds based on a trivial distance
criteria, so if you load a pdb file into an old VMD version, you will
get some "strange" bonds , especially since the structure created with
Leap is not a minimized structure ...
My advice is to try to load into VMD the initial topology and coordinate
files created by Leap instead of the pdb file. If the visualization will
show you again strange bonds, then it is likely that something is wrong
with your structure ....
If I were you, I would also use VMD 1.8.6 - the latest VMD version ...
Good luck
