Hello:

I am trying to do umbrella sampling for a protein/ligand water system these days following Justin's nice tutorial. And I've got some questions:

(1) in the tutorial, the small peptide was pulling along Z direction. I am just wondering, will the small peptide be pulled in both +Z and -Z direction?

In my case I've got a ligand in the deep pocket, it is possible that the ligand can escape the binding pocket from two opposite site, let's say -Z and +Z which I hope the umbrella sampling can give me some evidences to prove this.... Could the umbrella sampling answer this question? Or we should pull the ligand along X,Y and Z three direction so that it is more convinced?

(2) it is said that when doing free energy calculation in gromacs, we'db better use double precision Gromacs. So probably we have to use CPU instead of GPU for this?

thank you very much
best
Albert
