Hello,

The pull-code .mdp option pull_pbcatom1 is defined in the online manual as:

"The reference atom for the treatment of periodic boundary conditions For determining the COM, all atoms are put at their periodic image which is closest to pull_pbcatom1. A value of 0 means that the middle atom (number wise) is used."

I suppose that this is necessary since mdrun now writes broken molecules. However, this is suboptimal for replica exchange umbrella sampling (pull = umbrella, pull_geometry = distance) in which one does not necessarily want to utilize different periodic images of pull_group0 and pull_group1.

a) Perhaps I don't understand. Is it possible that although a particular image of each pulled group is chosen, the pulling is actually still done along the vector between the closest two images?

b) If not, is there a simple code modification to utilize a pbc=nojump type definition here during dynamics?

Thanks,
Chris.
