Though the force field is different, the workflow is the same as:

Conducting meaningful analysis implies you have some hypothesis to test and have 
some biochemical knowledge of the system.  There is no magic wand to wave to 
parse out the answer.  Some metrics may give you a general idea (RMSD, RMSF, 
etc) but without a much more focused approach, you'll be stuck in the weeds.
