Was my question not clear or noone can help me? I am wondering whether calculations of ligand hydrophobic SAS (decrease during the simualtion) can be result of binding to protein?

Presumably it's due to both aggregation and binding to the protein, if, in fact both phenomena occur. The extent of each effect will vary with time and you may have to analyze each ligand separately (i.e. do 30 calculations) to gather the detail you need. In the absence of seeing the commands used to calculate the quantities you did, it's hard to comment further on any of the other points.

    Dear Gromacs Users,
I am calculating SAS using g_sas of ligands in my system: protein,
    30 ligands in water. The hydrophobic SAS of ligands decrease and
    reach stable value. Hydrophilic remains stable over the simulation
    time. I am wondering whether it  (the decrease o hydrophobic) is
    because of binding to protein or aggregations of my small molecules
    (They do aggregate) or both? I mean: how is it caculated? Is binding
    to protein included in the decrease of the hydrophobic SAS of
    lignads or it is impossible and  aggregation will be the one thing?
Thank you,
