Hi All,



I have a question regards to PMF:

Consider we are sure one protein will bind to membrane after 100ns in MD run
and make a complex. Instead of pulling protein to membrane to calculate PMF,
can we start from last configuration of protein-membrane complex and pull
out protein to separate them and calculate the PMF?



What would be the difference?



DeltaG is a state function; the direction is irrelevant. Keeping the sign consistent with the final and initial states is the only thing that really matters.
