Thank you, Justin. I am trying to simulate a protein-ligand complex to see the conformation transition during the simulation... We propose that the receptor pocket may be subject to a conformational change upon ligand-binding, so I want to verify it by MD... I am really a newbie in molecular simulation and all I did to analysis were time evolution of RMSD, interaction energy, and visualization. I try to do some principal component analysis, but literature said that PCA must be performed after equilibrium...
If you are hypothesizing a conformational change, then you need a way to quantify that change - distances, angles, etc.
Could you give me more info on block-averaging, or any other advice that will help?
It means to evaluate quantities over successive blocks of time (e.g. using -b and -e that all GROMACS analysis tools support) and check to see whether or not the quantities of interest are varying over time or if they are stable, i.e. converged.
