Thank you Justin. I run my pulling using two force constant for pulling. K1=100 and K1=200 Please, see attached plots of force vs time. Is there any criteria to adjust pulling constant? Would you suggest running it for a longer time?

I know of no systematic study for choosing a force constant. Guessing wildly at what's going on, I'd say you need longer simulations as it appears you have only just caused dissociation towards the end of the 500 ps.

        Dear Gmx Users,
         Is it always required to restrained positions of the protein
        while pulling your ligand? My system is made of 10 ligands
        attached to my protein surface. I am pulling one of them.


    No, it is not required.  I assume you've gotten this idea from my
    tutorial - the restraints there were used for a very specific
    purpose (detailed in the paper linked from the tutorial).


        I have just seen trajectory of pulling my ligand without
        restraining positions of protein and 9 remaining ligands. My
        ligand while pulling also pulled the protein with itself (for 1
        nm distance) and then splited. Is is this approach more reliable?

    If your goal is umbrella sampling, you need only generate a series
    of reasonable starting configurations along a defined reaction
    coordinate.  The absolute positions are irrelevant; it is the
    relative distance that matters.
