Dear Justin,

Can you explain something regarding this issue.

I couldn't get  resolve one  problem.  Though now I am able to make
restrict (immobile )
the needed residue and pulled another one.
But the contradiction that i am facing is that, when I am pulling with
-rate (in negative z direction, as I want to pull
the residue in the negative Z direction of box ) given below.
Still there we see  that pulling group is not moving the -ve direction of
z.

Your settings are right, so either you need a larger force constant to induce the motion or you need to wait longer for the restoring forces in the system (whatever they are) to be overcome by the biasing potential.

Thank you very much Justin.

Here it is working but having some  problem.
pull_group2_name = chain_B35  is moving in the + z direction &
pull_group4_name= chain_B26   is  moving oppositely in the -z direction
While I have given pull in +z direction for both the above group.

Note - pull_group1_name = chain_A8 and  pull_group3_name  = chain_A17 are
immobile here as well as acting as reference.

Dear Justin

Here I am applying pull for two groups with respect to two reference

as following.

pull_coord1_start       = yes           ; define initial COM distance > 0

In above protocol I want to make two reference group  as
1-chain_A8   2- chain_A17
and two pull group.
1- chain_B35  2- chain_B26

You've defined four groups but then only used two, so you only get the
effect of one reaction coordinate.

What you need to do is define the pull settings for all reaction
coordinates simultaneously, e.g.:

pull                    = yes
pull_ngroups            = 4
pull_ncoords            = 2
pull_group1_name        = chain_A8
pull_group2_name        = chain_B35
pull_group3_name        = chain_A17
pull_group4_name        = chain_B26
; definition of reaction coordinate 1, groups 1-2
pull_coord1_type        = umbrella
pull_coord1_geometry    = distance
pull_coord1_groups      = 1 2
pull_coord1_dim         = N N Y
pull_coord1_rate        = 0.01
pull_coord1_k           = 1000
pull_coord1_start       = yes
; definition of reaction coordinate 2, groups 3-4
pull_coord2_type        = umbrella
pull_coord2_geometry    = distance
pull_coord2_groups      = 3 4
pull_coord2_dim         = N N Y
pull_coord2_rate        = 0.01
pull_coord2_k           = 1000
pull_coord2_start       = yes

Note that above I changed pull_ncoords to be set to 2, because you want
two reaction coordinates. Then just specify the settings for each one,
calling the appropriate groups by their assigned numbers.
