In my above protocol,
What I found that, my system (12 dsDNA) placed with their helical axis is
along the X axis (in VMD we checked ).
When I am applying pulling on r_12 ( with pull_coord1_dim = Y N N
). Keeping r_24 as a reference group (not fixed).
Distance between both group is increasing along X axis. In VMD it is
clearly showing that both the group are
moving in opposite direction along the helix ( X axis) direction. Which is
showing that r_24 is feeling equal pulling like r_12 (on which pulling is
applied)
in the opposite direction of biasing vector. i. e. r_24 is moving in -X
direction and r_12 is moving in +X direction.
