How's position restraint? If the force constant is reduced (reduce the number in posre.itp ?), the simulation will lead to more flexible structure?


Position restraints are inherent inhibition to structural sampling. Their intent is to prevent the protein (or whatever restrained molecule) from changing too much. Of course, it can change since it's only a harmonic potential, but if you're looking for better sampling then I would turn off any form of position restraints.

        Thanks.

        Will the constrain help?


    Bond constraints?  Well, in general, they're useful, and likely
    necessary at high temperature to keep your system stable.  Please be
    more specific.

               Hi, all,

               I am trying to use Gromacs to obtain structural ensembles
        around
               native structures (PDB structures).
               However the simulated structures are always very close to the
               initial one, with RMSD < 0.2.
               I am wondering how to obtain large-RMSD structures? Thanks.


           Large RMSD values would indicate non-native structures, which
           doesn't sound like what you're looking for.  If your goal is
        simply
           enhanced sampling, try REMD.
