After adding water you can do energy minimization (EM) in two steps:

1. Constrain the protein backbone and do EM.
2. Now do EM on the full system.
3. Run a short MD simulation by constraining the protein backbone.
The above three steps will help hydrate the protein molecule with minimal distortion of protein structure.


Such finesse may certainly be beneficial. Just for clarity, though, what you are referring to is the application of (position) restraints, not constraints.

4. Now run a MD on full system.

        So how has your system setup changed since your previous EM?
        Addition of water? Cutoffs? PME?
