Eric:
I am certainly not the expert on this. However, I have run into this problem. Average structures from an MD run are just that and can lead to the weird things you mention and others - like flat deoxyribose rings. Rather than an average structure, perhaps a 'most representative structure' would suit your needs better. This can be obtained using the cluster analysis option of Moil-View.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I use carnal to generate an average pdb file from
the trajectory. It seems to me that the new structure
looks a little bit weird. Some C-H bonds are extremely
short while C-N bonds are ridiculous large. These
happen on both the substrate and the protein. I wonder
if people ever run into the similar situation. By the
way I use antechamber to generate the force parameter
for my substrate.

STREAM s1 ./TS4_md2.mdcrd.gz;
FILES_OUT
COORD c1 ./TS4_1ns.pdb PDB;

OUTPUT
COORD c1 s1 AVERAGE;
