You're much more likely to get any feedback if you tell us your command 
lines. I've lost track of the number of times I've said this to you so 
far :-) How are you generating what (you think) is a superimposition of 
initial and final structures? trjconv and trjcat don't do that.

If you're concatenating your .pdb file, then you've done it wrong.

Otherwise, you should just open the coordinate file that contains the 
superimposed structure.

If it's an unrealistic structure, it will have unrealistic guesses made 
by VMD about where bonds might be.
