                      Hi,<br>
                      <br>
                      This indeed looks like a flat-bottomed restraint
                      potential. I had<br>
                      proposed that addition to the pull code for 5.0 in
                      a request for<br>
                      feedback, which I also posted to the developers
                      list. But since I didn't<br>
                      receive any response on this point I didn't
                      implement it. Also because a<br>
                      general flat bottomed potential needs an extra
                      (distance) parameter. It<br>
                      seems like your potential would not need an extra
                      parameter (it should<br>
                      equal a flat bottomed potential with lower limit
                      0). Since it's too late<br>
                      for 5.0, I would propose to implement the flat
                      bottomed potential for<br>
                      5.1.<br>

                        Hi, Sabine-<br>
                        <br>
                        So, this looks like the distance restraint
                        potential (bond function<br>
                        10) in<br>
                        section 4.3.4 of the manual that matches this
                        potential function. &nbsp;Right<br>
                        now, this potential can only be applied.
                        &nbsp;However, there is a planned<br>
                        fix<br>
                        for 5.0 that will include the ability to add all
                        bonded interactions in<br>
                        between arbitrary atoms in the system, even if
                        they are not in the same<br>
                        molecule.<br>
                        <br>
                        I BELIEVE there is an extension to the pull code
                        that would allow<br>
                        general<br>
                        bonded potentials to be used between COMs of
                        index groups as well but<br>
                        I'm<br>
                        not as certain about that.<br>
                        <br>
                        I think that these planned changes will capture
                        the functionality<br>
                        that you<br>
                        are describing. &nbsp;Is that correct?<br>

                          Hello,<br>
                          <br>
                          I have implemented an extension to the
                          existing umbrella code in<br>
                          Gromacs<br>
                          version 4.6.3. It is a semiharmonic potential
                          which sets a maximum<br>
                          distance between two index groups. When this
                          distance is trespassed, a<br>
                          force kicks in and bounces the pull group
                          back, when the distance is<br>
                          below the threshold, motions are completely
                          unrestrained. I use this<br>
                          code to simulate pores of antimicrobial
                          peptides, to keep the peptides<br>
                          in close vicinity without actually interfering
                          with the pore formation<br>
                          process.<br>
                          The code can also be used to make sure several
                          peptides bind to the<br>
                          same<br>
                          side of a membrane or in ligand-binding
                          simulations.<br>
                          The relevant part of the extended code is no
                          longer than 10 lines,<br>
                          but I<br>
                          naturally had to change other files in order
                          to read the modified input<br>
                        </blockquote>
                        &gt;from the mdp files, too. Affected binaries
