[gmx-users] Re: How to apply distance restraint

[Uwe Richter]

Make sure the distances for up and low are given in nm and not in angstrom.
The next thing could be that the distance between up1 and up2 is too small.
It would probably helpful if you pasted the distance_restraints part 
into the
email.
