You don't say how large the structure is, or what atoms you used to compute
the rms difference. A 2 Ang. RMS change is not at all unusual, especially
for a sizeable protein, or if you are looking at all atoms. Also, if there
are floppy N- or C-terminal residues (or some floppy loop) they can have a big
effect on the computed RMS.
The best thing to do is to carefully examine the trajectory in a viewer like
Chimera or VMD. Don't concentrate on just a single number, but look to see
what is happening, both at the active site, and to the protein as a whole.
Start with seeing if the secondary struture is conserved, then look at more
details.
...good luck...dac
