I am doing umbrella sampling with a distance restraint between two atoms
in 2 different molecules. When I am doing MD simulations with dist.
restraint for the different windows and increase the distance, one
molecule "jumps" in the next box, which is normally not a problem due
to periodic boundary cond.
Does anybody know if periodic boundary cond. are considered as well for
the restraints? E.g. if I force the distance to be 10 A by applying a
force constant, and the molecule jumps in the next box, which distance
is considered by sander? The imaged one which is around 10 A, or the one
between 1 molecule in 1 box and the 2nd molecule in the 2nd box, which
is far away from 10 A?
As I fear the latter one is the case, is there a way to recenter
everything during or after each simulation, so that no jumps take place?
Thank you very much for any help and best regards,
Nadine
