- how do you know it is a "problem" and not a property of the peptide?
- rmsd of 0 to 1 (assuming units of angstrom) are not large and indicate
only thermal fluctuations around the same basic conformation
- 3ns is short- have you tried starting from different initial structures,
or using a heating phase? these would help you make sure you are not just
stuck near the initial structure. cyclo peptides can be very rigid and
difficult to sample transitions.
