so WHY it shows me 1.611?how can i proof and calculate this distance?ok
they are not coincident because i have sheet(which interact by it's
surface) and Protein, but why it should be important? because the sheet is
freez and immobile and i just want Z distance. and this distance should be
the absolute distance between 2 point( difference between z=4.287and COM of
protein in each frame). this is all my imagination. What i have
misunderstand?

You're applying a restraint only along z. The protein is free to move in x and y, and it has done just that. The total COM distance is produced by gmx distance, but again, the z-component of this vector is in agreement with what is in pullx.xvg, which is dZ, e.g. the z-component of the distance. This is the only quantity that matters.

as you see max dist=1.76 and min dist=1.611, but in VMD i can see that two
group (Protein and ZnS sheet) in last frame are too close to each other.
so
why i see 1.611 in distwhole.xvg?

and could you please tell me what is the relevance of pullx.xvg to g_dist
output?as you see pullx.xvg ensure that distance between 2 group is
decreasing, so...?

is there anything i did not consider?

Your output is completely consistent. You're applying a biasing potential
along the z-dimension only, so that's the only distance that mdrun cares
about in establishing the reaction coordinate. The pullx.xvg file contains
the COM coordinate of the "reference" group (group0) and in your case is
just the z-coordinate, so that's the first data column. The second data
column (dZ) is the displacement along the z-axis. Your COM distance results
confirm this - your protein and ZnS are not exactly coincident; they have
different x and y coordinates. But the z column in the distance output
agrees with the pullx.xvg file (when considering the absolute value).
