Dear Gromacs users,

I just read the tutorial by Justin Lemkul about umbrella sampling simulations 
along z-axis. My question is whether we need cylindrical confinement of the 
molecule that is pulling away from a reference molecule.
Thanks in advance


The tutorial is a very simple system designed to get users familiar with a basic workflow. There are more elegant ways of doing umbrella sampling for more complicated systems. Cylindrical restraints can be useful in some cases and are discussed in the manual. Without knowing more about the system you're considering, it's hard to provide specific advice.
