[gmx-users] Umbrella_pull_simulation

[shahid nayeem]

Thanks Justin
I have pulled one of the chain from an initial COM distance value of 3.65 A
to 7.90 A. When I look this trajectory in VMD I find that the chain is
completely separated. But even at this separation the profile.xvg file does
not show its convergence to one value. I sent this file to you earlier.
