Hi Justin,

Thank you for your Reply

Before start tutorial I read your paper, It help me
a lot to understand the concept of umbrella sampling...

But truly I not understand the part in six step
  why to use define -DPOSRES_B  and not -DPOSRES,
I think I miss it ...


I will be a very greatfull to you, if you shade
some light on these ....


Using -DPOSRES_B restrains only one chain of the protein, thus mimicking the stability of a larger macromolecular assembly. Using -DPOSRES restrains all protein chains, which accomplishes nothing when trying to do umbrella sampling. The chain to which the umbrella potential is applied would not be able to move at all, thus rendering the pull force measurements ineffectual.
