thank you for your kind response.I am uploading two pictures.One is
initial structure and the other is at 32 ns. From the two structure it is
clear that alpha helices and 3-10 helices are already started to be
unfolded. And sometimes beta sheet are appearing. I further run for 60ns.
At 60ns I calculated the percentage of helicity. I found percentage of
helicity is too low at 60ns.That means it is unfolding.But Rg value is
still around 13.8A. Now from your suggestion I can assume that though
unfolding is occurring but the local native contacts(distance between the
alpha-carbons)are not being totally disrupted and the protein structure is
not being stretched.As the distance is not increasing so the compactness
will not change. That means, it will be also true for Solvent Accessible
Surface Area(SASA) of that protein.
 Thanking You
