Hi Justin,

I am sorry, i dint understand this point "Your problem was only related to the actual umbrella sampling itself." ? You meant I just want to repeat umbrella sampling only?


Yes. The manner in which you generate the initial configurations on which you will conduct umbrella sampling is quite irrelevant.

In order to further understand that "Distance " problem, May I ask one more question,( please ignore if its a stupid one..)
As Thomas suggested, = is the channel and x the dummy and l the ligand
x l =====
later time
x   ==l==
If this is the case, then there wont be sign problem with "distance", right??? (Once again forgive me if I am wrong, because I know you already put your maximum effort to make me understand this thing)

And if we use a dummy particle, will the movement of that particle will also matter ? How can we fix that?

I think this is a rather complicated approach and you will probably spend a lot of unnecessary time troubleshooting it. It might work, but you don't need it. Your problem is not with the SMD portion of the protocol. Your problem is with umbrella sampling, which is a separate concept.

I think I mis-read Thomas' post, but I'll agree with Chris that this approach is still rather complicated and potentially error-prone. Using the appropriate pull_geometry and a sensible reference group during umbrella sampling is all you need to do.
