Our results show that RA may exit the binding site of RAR through flexible regions close to the H1-H3 loop and beta-sheets, without displacing H12 from its agonist position. This result may explain kinetic differences between agonist and antagonist ligands observed for other nuclear receptors. The extended and flexible structure of RA initiated a methodological study in a simplified two-dimensional model system. The REMD force should in general be distributed to all atoms of the ligand to obtain the most unbiased results, but for a ligand which is tightly bound in the binding pocket through a strong electrostatic interaction, application of the REMD force on a single atom is preferred.
