My simulations are for 10 ns in each window. There is a lot of noise in my wham too. I am enclosing my wham for pullf (the earlier was pullx) and pmf. They are really looking strange. Stronger restraint means force constant? &gt;From literature, I kept it at 3000.<br>

Those plots do look very strange.  The PMF is almost a step function, which is certainly wrong.  You may need either more simulation time or more frequent collection of data points, but at this stage I can only guess.  Not much more I can offer, sorry.<br>

<br>
A stronger restraint would mean a stronger force constant, yes, but if you&#39;re using 3000 to restrain simple molecules like methane, I think there is no need to increase it.<br>

        hi Justin<br>
        I am not able to tell where the lack of overlap is. This is the<br>
        first wham plot I am looking at. In your tutorial and<br>
        literature, the wham plots are so clear. Can you please help me?<br>
        Thanks.<br>
<br>
<br>
    It looks like your first one or two windows were not restrained<br>
    sufficiently at the desired distance.  The error complains that bin<br>
    2 should have points at 0.366 nm, but it appears neither bin 1 nor<br>
    bin 2 satisfy this requirement. Check carefully what you have set<br>
    for reference distances and what distances were actually maintained<br>
    during the sampling.  You may need a stronger restraint or longer<br>
    simulations.  How long are the simulations?  I see that you&#39;re<br>
    starting the analysis on data after 2 ns, but how much does that leave?<br>

                   Hi<br>
                   I am a new gromacs user. I just completed Justin&#39;s<br>
        umbrella<br>
                   sampling tutorial. I am doing a PMF calculation between 2<br>
                   methane molecules in water. The simulation has run<br>
        fine till<br>
                   the g_wham step. My command is<br>
<br>
                   -- g_wham -it tpr-files.dat -if pullf-files.dat -o -hist<br>
                   -unit kCal -b 2000<br>
<br>
                   I get a warning:<br>
                   WARNING, no data point in bin 2 (z=0.366256) !<br>
                   You may not get a reasonable profile. Check your<br>
        histograms!<br>
<br>
                   and my histogram contains a single peak.<br>
<br>
                   I have pulled my other methane 1 nm away from the first<br>
                   methane. I have 15 sampling windows (0.05 nm apart<br>
        till 5nm<br>
                   and then 1 nm apart)...can you please tell me how to<br>
        correct<br>
                   this?<br>
<br>
<br>
               With 15 windows, you should have 15 histograms.  Plot with:<br>
<br>
               xmgrace -nxy histo.xvg<br>
<br>
               It will show you where the lack of sampling is.<br>
