        Dear Justin and Gmx Users,
         I extracted 42 frames from my trajctory of pulling ligand away
        from my protein (no position restarined). I would like to run
        NPT before running umbrella sampling simulations. As far I see
        Justin in his tutorial NPT and umbrella sampling mdp files looks
        the same which means you did not restrain whole protein in your
        system during NPT? Why?


    The system at hand was very robust and as such, complete restraints
    were not necessary.  Please do not adhere strictly to the umbrella
    sampling tutorial; there are elements of it that may not be
    generally applicable (and I'm fairly sure there are warnings of this
    in the tutorial).  It is a simple example designed to provide the
    conceptual and practical basis for such simulations.


        Shall rund NPT withou restraining protein and ligand before
        umbrella sampling in each window?

    Do what makes sense in your case.  Typically, position restraints
    are applied during equilibration.

Maybe I asked my qestion not directly. Why during the equilibration of your system (tutorial) NPT before umbrella sampling in each window you restarined only Chain B like in further umbrella samplin (your mdp files of NPT and MD are the same) instead of restraining all chains as it should be during the equilibration?

What "should be" depends on the system. In my case, the structures were extremely robust and did not require full restraints to achieve adequate equilibration. This is not generally true and full restraints are normally applied.
