 - Code of conduct of our community `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, adhering to the Contributor Covenant v2.1 (#104) 
 - New optional argument `backbone_vector` enabling to build molecules along an input vector using `pmb.create_molecule` and `pmb.create_pmb_object` (#99)
-- Unit testing for reaction methods (#86)
 - New boolean flag `--ideal` as argparse argument of `samples/globular_protein.py` enabling to run the script without setting up interactions.
 - Unit tests for `pmb.create_protein`, `pmb.enable_motion_of_rigid_object`, `pmb.protein_sequence_parser`, `pmb.define_protein`, `pmb.read_protein_vtf_in_df` (#101)
