Dear Gmx Users,

I know it is possible to combine windows with different spring
constants into the one PMF curve using g_wham.

Do I have to somehow tell g_wham that one or two windows have
different spring constants?


No, they are read from the .tpr files.


For instance - I got the better histogram overlap with lower force
constant in one window. When I replace this window into the window
with the sring constant like all windwos (worse overlap) both PMF
curves differ app. 2kcal/mol which is around 30% of the overall
deltaG.

Is there any error I should inroduce when one window differ in terms of
k1?


What does g_wham's error analysis suggest?

-Justin


In both PMF error estimate with bayesian bootstraping is app. 0.2 kcal/mol


Seems like a good result, so what's the problem?

-Justin

That the better overlap of histograms produce worse deltaG comparing
to experiment. With all the same spring constants I get the
experimental value of deltaG but there is a poor overlap. There must
be (somehow) a correction added to deltaG when introdcuing windows
with different spring constants.


The code and/or g_wham paper should address this. In principle, WHAM can be conducted with any assortment of spring constants you like. If you track down a bug or something, please report it on redmine.gromacs.org.

A workaround of course would be to simply add another window (or windows) with the same original force constant that gives adequate sampling.
