[gmx-users] seeming paradox with gmx wham

[Alex]

Yeah, enlarging system (4 nm to 6 nm) isn't a problem at this point, it's
still a small system. My sampling pull code is below, I only modified the
bare minimum to work with the new pull code syntax and to enable spherical
slices (radius varying from near-zero to 1.5 nm):

pull                 = yes
pull-coord1-type     = umbrella
pull_ngroups            = 2
pull_ncoords            = 1
pull_group1_name        = CL
pull_group2_name        = CNT
pull_coord1_geometry    = distance
pull_coord1_groups      = 1 2
pull_dim                = Y Y Y
pull_coord1_rate        = 0.0
pull_coord1_k           = 1000
pull_start              = yes

CNT is the colloquial name for our membrane. I'm trying to be extra-careful
this time, so I will really appreciate if you see anything else that looks
wrong. Another quick question: it is my understanding that the value of k
will control the histogram width. Is 1000 a reasonable choice overall?

Thank you,

Alex
