Hi The MSD decrease occurs in the long times. The ligand has bounded to a protein. How can the decrease happen?

Would you please tell me about any possible errors i made? MSD can decrease due to insufficient sampling (time of the simulation, number of frames analyzed, etc). Depending on what you define as "some period" (during the initial part of the simulation? the middle? the end?) the behavior may or may not be normal, but from the few details you provide, there's no way to know. What do you hope to see in this analysis? Will a ligand bound to a protein really diffuse that much anyway? -Justin > Thank you Lin > > > > >
