I was trying to run MD simulation of my protein in DMSO. I used the force

But after solvating in DMSO, the structure is changing. My protein is a
homodimer and the loop at the dimer interface is converting into a sheet.
Please suggest where I am going wrong since the structure shouldnot change
after solvation.

You're not giving nearly enough detail (what is the dmso/water ratio? what is your .mdp file?) etc.

In any case, it wouldn't be the first time that simulations and experiments disagree. How do you *know* that structure shouldn't change? Have you tried using another force field, like OPLS?
