Dear all i try to êrform PCA for protein-ligand complex in google colab pro by runnig this command echo 3 22| gmx covar -f md\_0\_100\_fit.xtc -s md\_0\_100.tpr -n index.ndx -o eigenval.xvg -xpm covar.xpm -b 50 -e 100 -tu ns  
3 C alpha  
22 Protein\_UNL  
when i open the output file covar.log i fount that the covariance analysis was performed just from 50ns to 67.79ns may i know what is the potential problem  
Thanks in advance
