Dear Jacopo
Have you constrainted the COM of the protein?
If not, when you steer the ligand off the protein, the protein would also be shuffled away.
Two superiorer methods as follow: One is to use the smd.tcl script attached in 10Ala tutorial, http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/science/10Ala-tutorial/; The other iscolvar.
