Sir,
Yes, the system has multiple layers of graphene. I am following the
tutorial that was available on your webpage for setting up the PMF
calculations. I was using the same input script template, across different
simulations, associated with different molecules.
I have set the z-transition coordinate to be the distance between the
centre of mass of the residue and that of the topmost graphene sheet.
At the lowest point, I can find the molecules near to the surface of the
sheet, but the same is not getting registered in the count files.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Hemanth H
