Jason, thanks for the reply.

But my question was to learn what are other possible uses of a representative
structure
from MD simulation?.

thanks,

Senthil

Hello,

You can cluster your snapshots and extract representative snapshots.
Another approach is to find the energy of every snapshot (you can do this by
setting imin=5 and setting maxcyc=1, as described in the manual), and then
choosing the lowest energy snapshots to run QM/MM calculations on. The
average structure, however, will have rotationally degenerate atoms
superimposed on one another, and may be quite distorted.

Good luck!
Jason
