Thank you Mark. The problem is, in order to use the couple-moltype option for decoupling, I want to keep the two proteins in separate moleculetype(s). Now I noted that Gromacs has a pull option for doing umbrella sampling, but I don't know how it might be used to apply distance restraint between

Hi Warren, if you want to use distance restraints, the two proteins must be in the same gromacs molecule. AFAIK, it is impossible to use distance restraints between atoms of different molecules. Altermatively, you may want to consider bonds of type 6 (not subject to lincs). pdb2gmx -merge is

Hi Jochen, Thanks a lot for the information, I appreciate. I will merge the two proteins into a single moleculetype and apply the distance restraint, as you suggested. Although I could try use the pull code, I am not sure if they interfere with free energ (lambda) code which I am also using.
