You "after" structure looks pretty bad. If the starting structure comes from
something experimental (e.g. and Xray structure), I'd say that something has
gone wrong. Make sure that a WC helix of DNA alone (in your hands) stays
stable. You might also look for any bad contacts in your starting structure.
Also, check whether the structural distortion occurs early or late in the
simulation. And make sure that you have run a long-ish equilibration with
restraints on the starting structure, so the the water and ions are
well-equilibrated, before allowing the DNA-ligand complex to move very much.
