This is not correct. There are always thermal fluctuations, and an
equilibrated MD simulation should sample the correct distribution. There are
no "right" or "wrong" conformations, just ones that occur more frequently or
less frequently.
If you wish to extract snapshots from MD simulations, say to perform a docking
calculation, it would be more realistic to choose random ones (and certainly
more than one), than to choose the frame with the lowest potential energy.
