Hi Justin,

Sorry for the mistake, I wrote 0.1 ns in 
"still there are more fluctuations but and it decreses again to 0.28 nm at 0.1 
ns."
it is 1 ns instead, I ran the simulation for 1ns.

I have put the job to run for 1 more ns, so may be there I could analyse 
something as u said.
Thanks a lot.

If you've only done 100 ps of simulation, not much.  I would also question why 
you consider it a "decrease" from 0.3 nm to 0.28 nm rather than just a 
fluctuation.  Run a longer simulation to gather meaningful RMSD values.

As for other analysis to do, do some homework in the literature, and also 
consider your own goals for running the simulation.  Certainly you have a 
purpose.
