Hi Joe,

The main way of controlling nonbonded interactions (the only forces
that will drive molecules away from each other) is the "altloc" identifier
in column 17. The rules are:

  blank pushes blank
  X pushes blank
  Y pushes blank
  X has no nonbonded interactions with Y

These rules are independent of the covalent connectivity.
Could you double-check your altloc assignments?
I'll be happy to look at your files.

Ralf
