Based on what you report, I would not view a density of 0.98 as a red flag.

It is not clear what reference structure you are using for the RMSD
calculation.
In cases like this, it is often very helpful to compute the backbone RMSD
leaving out loops and tails. But there is no magic number: visually comparing
the starting and ending structures will tell you whether the overall fold has
changed or not. In a 200 residue protein, you can easily get RMSD values of 3
or 4 Ang (espeically if you are including loops and tails) when the overall
fold has changed very little.
