Watch the trajectory and see which interactions break first.  Then consider if 
your ligand topology needs refinement to deal with such interactions or if it's 
trying to sample some strained conformation that is incompatible with binding 
(suggesting an internal/dihedral problem).  Compare with available experimental 
data; some things just have weak affinity.

What does "over curved" mean?
