Sorry I am not sure that I follow. Will the window with r0 =0.80 giving the distribution centred around 0.78nm not drive my free energy profile up. If I remove this window prior to running g_wham the free energy goes down. Should I increase the force constant so that the mean of the window is 0.80nm (bearing in mind that this is near the barrier region).
