Thanks Justin. I will try again. But please refer to some protocol if you know and one last question that before doing umbrella sampling simulation how can one be sure that the pulling is good and one should go ahead with selecting window and doing umbrella sampling. In the end when you see histo.xvg and profile.xvg , it cost a lot computationally and if you don't get it right these computational resources are wasted.

There are certainly simulations that have been published using umbrella sampling on a variety of systems. I'm sure some relatively quick literature searching will lead you to some suitable ideas. Spending a few hours doing some reading will save you months of wasted CPU time.

        Thanks for quick reply. I have created mutant of a complex by
        changing interface residue in VMD. These mutant are
        experimentally known to show less binding affinity. I want to
        reproduce these results with umbrella sampling. Now I am sending
        profile and histo file for wt and mutant. Please suggest where i
        am wrong.


    The PMF curves look poorly converged.  Your reaction coordinates are
    not the same for both the WT and mutant (you appear to have a far
    shorter reaction coordinate for the mutant).  The energy minimum is
    also ill-defined for the mutant.

    As for the reason behind these phenomena, I cannot say, nor do I
    have time to sort through your data and try to work it out for you.
     Refer to the literature, find similar protocols, and proceed from
    there.

               Dear Justin
               I am doing umbrella pulling simulation of a protein
        complex wt
               and mutant. I expect mutant to give lower deltG value. I am
               attaching a tif file of energy vs time curve of wt and mutant
               protein on pulling simulation. These energies are obtained by
               g_energy and selecting 11 option which is COM pulling
        energy. In
               this curve the first peak decreases and again rises at longer
               time. How many windows should be selected. As expected
        the peak
               of COM pulling energy is lower in mutants. Please explain why
               the energy again rises at higher time. Should I use the
        windows
               upto 160ps only because thereafter in both curve there is
        rise
               in energy value. the pull code used is as follows.


           What you have obtained is a path-dependent energy that may or may
           not signify anything useful - it almost certainly does not.  I
           cannot offer an explanation of the sharp increase towards the
        end of
           the simulation other than to speculate that your box is of
           insufficient size and you're encountering PBC issues.

           As for how many windows are necessary, it's also impossible
        to tell.
            You need enough windows to adequately sample the reaction
           coordinate.  Thus, it is decided based on how far you need to
           separate the two species, how strong the force constant is during
           the US simulations, the nature of the interactions in the
        system and
           how fast they converge, etc.
