thank you, Phin
I use carnal to analysis rmsd by fit protein-mainchain atom. I also
extract pdb structure from MD traj, what I can see is that the ligand
still bind in some residues at the binding pocket, but other part of
protein crash.
yes, I will do test following GB-tutorial.
restraint maybe one alternative.
