Also I wanted to ask that to know my structure which has minimum

You can certainly identify structures within different regions of the
free energy surface in this way. Just be careful about saying any
structure has a particular "energy" value, since this can mean a number
of different things.

Indeed, in particular since eigenvectors from PCA do not cover the whole
space of motions. If you take other coordinates, e.g. the RMSD and the
radius of gyration, where you do cover all possibilities in a 2D plot
this can work. Note however that this is complicated too, because the
volume of the bins in your 2D plot are not the same in general, so even
if you have more points in one bin then in another it might be because
the volume is larger, rather than that it is more populated.
