[gmx-users] Center of mass: distance restrain for groups

[Li, Hualin]

Hi, Justin,

     Thank you very much for your reply. I use the following pull code in my mdp file:
"
pull             =   umbrella
pull_geometry    =  distance
pull_dim         =   Y Y Y ;# 3D
pull_start       =   yes ;# add COM distance to initial value (initial value = equilibrium value)
pull_ngroups     =   1 ;# excluding the reference
pull_group0      =   DPPC_DUPC_CHOL ;# the reference group - the membrane
pull_weights0    =   0 ;# use mass as weight
pull_pbcatom0    =   -1 ;# or -1 - important for PBC of groups larger than half box,
                      ;# as here for membrane (see manual)
pull_group1      =   H4 ;# the protein
pull_weights1    =   0 ;# use mass as weight
pull_pbcatom1    =   0 ;# here is no issue since protein is smaller than half the box
pull_rate1       =   0 ;# do not pull, just maintain distance!
pull_k1          =   50 ;# kJ mol^(-1) nm^(-2)
 "
      However ,  when I use grompp to pre-compile it , the error "Fatal error:
Number of weights (1) for pull group 0 'DPPC_DUPC_CHOL' does not match the number of atoms (86016)
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors"  comes out.

      I change pull_weights0 to pull_weights0=86016, but it still doesn't work. Could you please tell me the reason.
      Thank you very much.

Best,
Hualin

Sorry, that should read "pull = umbrella" :)
