Re: Only part of the protein is moving in MD simulation

If you are using harmonic constraints on the protein atoms why do you expect
them to move? It is not clear from your mail. Anyway, I'm running 10 ns
dynamics at high temperature and even then the protein does not move too
much. Proteins are quite rigid at these time-scales.
