[gmx-users] Different results from identical tpr after MD

But we hope finally no matter which trajectory, a stable protein conformation should be got! As for during the production MD, no significant energy change included.
 
I am looking forward to getting more feedback on this topic.

Well you're really supposed to conduct multiple runs anyway.
Remember, a single MD run over a period of time only samples 1 possible 
trajectory out of the ensemble of possible trajectories...
