Still on the same problem, I made a pr run on the complex, and had the same 
result (ligand is out of the active site at time = 0.000 ps. Then I ran the 
same pr run, but with dt = 0.001 ps with all coordinates output for my 
trajectory. It turns out the ligand starts out of the active site, even if my 
input coordinates have the ligand inside. What is happening ??

Subject: [gmx-users] ligand falling out of active site during EM
 
Hello !

I'm trying to run a molecular dynamics on a drug-enzyme complex. I did John 
Kerrigan's tutorial and everything worked fine. Now I'm trying with my system 
but I get a problem : the ligand keeps falling out of the active site during 
EM. I thought maybe it was a pbc problem and used comm-grps = protein in my 
.mdp file, but I get the same result. I transformed the .gro input file to .pdb 
to view it in pymol and the ligand is in the active site before simulation. So 
it seems this happens during steepest descents EM. 

The ligand is a hybrid inhibitor containing a steroid moiety (estradiol) linked 
to an adenosine-like moiety with a 13-methylene alkyl chain.

Is there a way to keep/force the ligand in the active site during EM (maybe 
using PR) ?

Is this reflecting some physical phenomenon, ie the ligand has low affinity ?
