        Hi again,<br>
        <br>
        I think this topic is still interesting.<br>
        I have just tested Jochens code for flat-bottom position
        restraints, which works great, but unfortunately it's not
        suitable for what I need.<br>
        Here, you can define a layer (with normal in z-direction) with a
        certain thickness and invert the restraints. The problem is that
        you cannot define a reference position for the layer, but the
        reference position is always the initial geometry. That way,
        particles are pushed away from the layer, but the direction is
        not defined. So I cannot use this to bind my peptides to one
        leaflet of the membrane (cmp. my post "Flat bottom position
        restraints"  on gmx-users). Also I cannot use it to restrain
        distances between molecules, which I also need sometimes.<br>
        <br>
        So I'd be grateful if you could reconsider including the
        extension to the pull code described below.<br>
        <br>
        Cheers<br>
        Sabine<br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>

        <pre>I guess you mean flat-bottomed position restraints.
I am talking about the pull code (between COM iso atoms).

</i>&gt;<i>                         below the threshold, motions are completely
</i>&gt;<i>                         unrestrained. I use this
