I think it's the average RMSD that was calculated. Maybe you can try to equilibrate without the solvent and see if you reach a stable conformation of your complex quicker than if you do it with the solvent? There are also other strategies. SMD is one of them, where you are applying constraints, you can do this with NAMD.

I'm not clear what the "problem" is here. Are you not happy with the (large?) oscillations after 100 ns? I don't understand why you would be surprised that convergence to a stable state takes that long. I'm more surprised that the apo state levels out in 20 ns.
I presume this is RMSD with respect to the initial frame, as is default for VMD? That's a completely arbitrary reference and thus I wouldn't hold too much stock in it. Is the initial bound state from a crystal structure or was it generated by docking to the apo structure? If the latter, then there isn't really a reason to believe the initial configuration had a high Boltzmann weight anyway - slow equilibration is to be expected and could involve large conformational changes.

Don't worry dhiraj, it's obviously rmsd in Y-axis and Time steps in X-axis. Shouldn't have been any fuss with it !!!

Sorry. I should have labeled it. Y axis is time in picosecond and x axis is rmsd in Angstrom.

Hi,
What's on the y axis?

Subject: namd-l: question regarding rmsd
Hi
I am trying to do MD simulation on a protein with and without ligand. when I did rmsd plot, I found that apo protein is behaving fine (red) but ligand bound form (black) is taking relatively longer time to equilibrate and showing quite a bit of fluctuation in rmsd. is the fluctuation in rmsd value for ligand bound protein is acceptable or is there anything wrong? How can I fix it?
thanks
Dhiraj
