In GROMACS groups are called via the *.ndx file (default: index.ndx)
Be aware that 'pull_dim' determines in which diretions (x,y,z) the
umbrella potential acts. So use N N Y , if you want that the ion can
move freely (onsidering the pull) in the xy-plane and Y Y Y if you want
to also restrit the movement in the xy-plane.

Allright.
As I said earlier, my system is a lipid bilayer. A channel is inserted in it
and I want to run US on this system.
An ion is considered in center of the each window, the reaction coordinate is
set to z,? so the group which is pulled is an ion, and my ref group would be
COM of the protein. But I don't know what statement is supposed to write in mdp
settings exactly:
; Pull code
pull??????????? = umbrella
pull_geometry?? = position
pull_dim??????? = N N Y
pull_start????? = yes
pull_ngroups??? = 1
pull_group0???? = COM of protein
pull_group1???? = ion
pull_init1????? = 0
pull_rate1????? = 0.0
pull_k1???????? = 4000????? ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2
pull_nstxout??? = 1000????? ; every 2 ps
pull_nstfout??? = 1000????? ; every 2 ps
IN fact, to implement such settings, how I make the US understand to get the
COM of protein as the ref group and the proposed ion as the pulled group?
Would you please give me any suggestions?
Thanks for all your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Shima

There's nothing "extra."? Everything here has a functional purpose.
