Dear Chris, Thanks for your check. Yes, it should be pull_group2 for C. In this case, the two distances have a reference group B. What about the case in which no common reference group is shared with the two distances, e.g. distance1 is defined as A-B and distance2 as C-D? Can current gromacs codes perform 2D umbrella sampling for this problem?
Many thanks.

Other than that, it looks like a valid approach. Chris. -- original message -- I am going to perform the two-dimensional umbrella sampling using a pair of distances (the distance btw atoms A and B, C and B) in the restraints. Could someone please tell whether I can use the current pull code as follows? --------------------------------------------- ; Pull code pull = umbrella pull_geometry = distance pull_dim = Y Y Y pull_start = no pull_ngroups = 2 pull_group0 = B pull_group1 = A ;restraint of distance btw A and B pull_init1 = 2.7 ;equilibrium distance of A-B pull_rate1 = 0.0 pull_k1 = 2000 ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2 pull_group1 = C ;restraint of distance btw C and B pull_init1 = 3.7 ;equilibrium distance of C-B pull_rate1 = 0.0 pull_k1 = 2500 ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2 pull_nstxout = 1000 ; every 2 ps pull_nstfout = 1000 ; every 2 ps ------------------------------------------------- Many thanks. -- gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
