I assume you are doing this using VMD psfgen (in which case you are mailing
the wrong thread). In any case, I think what you are doing wrong is not
defining a patch between two residues forming the cycling bond. And make
sure you say first none and last none to avoid two ends being capped (if
the first and last are the two residues creating the loop).
Best,
