A restraint is not a constraint, and assuming that you are simulating your system at a finite temperature, you should expect to see some fluctuations in a given atom's position.

Dear All,
I am running position restraint dynamics to restrain the atom positions of the protein to restrict their movement in the simulation. Then, how could there be any RMS deviation for the protein before and after the position restraint dynamics run? (Although the deviation is very little).
Could you please explain why is the deviation?
Thank You,
Regards,
Sukesh
