If you were using constant pressure with restraints (NTR=1), then the
relative positions of the molecules may change due to pressure scaling.
To get around this, only restrain the protein and add in explicit hbond
restraints (using the NMR options) for the equilibration phase. There are
other work-arounds discussed in the archives.
