some rotation of a solute is expected, but it should not
rotate "too much" in explicit solvent. rigid body motion of
the system as a whole is removed when you use the NSCM
namelist variable. however, I don't think that you want to
remove all solute rotation during MD just to help
the analysis. what you should do is to remove it during
the RMSD calculation.
if you want to get the residue RMSD values, then
the frames should be fit to a reference structure
first. you should be able to do this in carnal, but
ptraj will also do it. I use my moil-view program
for per-residue RMSD values and it fits to a reference
frame first so rotation has no effect.
maybe someone more familiar with carnal can say
if it performs a best-fit prior to residue RMSD calculation.
