If the cofactor and substrate leave the binding pockets when they "should"
stay fixed, then there are many possible reasons for such behavior.
Generally, one would expect the torsions to change when a ligand leaves its
binding pocket. There may indeed be problems with the force field
description of your ligands, but it is certainly also possible that the
initial structure is not close enough to a conformation that is stable to
stay "put".
"Fixing" the problem is not something that can be done via email. You might
look quite carefully at the very beginning of the simulation: are the
cofactor or substrate changing their initial positions and conformations
right away? Can you find evidence of bad contacts that might be driving
this? How well do you know what the physically correct behavior is supposed
to be?
