How to interpret the results of Protein-Ligand complex if the...

@sutanu mukhopadhyay thank you so much for the answer. I will perform md simulation for another 100ns now.

Can you please recommend any books or articles where I can learn md simulation in detail especially about RMSD?

1. From the protein-ligand complex images and Hydrogen bond pattern, it is evident that the ligand was initially bound to the protein, then detached from the protein and, again made H-bonds with the protein for last ~20 ns.
2. It is recommended to run reasonably long MD Simulations (500 ns maybe) to check the stability of the protein-ligand complex. 100 ns is not enough!

First, visualize the trajectory, for example using VMD.

Dear Martin Klvana,

I have seen the trajectory. Ligand slowly detached from the protein and after few steps it reattached itself to some other place (other than the binding site).
