Re: [gmx-users] umbrella sampling-Bimodal Histograms

I took initial 300 as equilibration,Now it seems fine.
Thank you ..

 If this is true then it simply means that you have not equilibrated enough.
 Run longer and cut some of the initial sampling.

 My guess -- if you're doing US -- is that you have some incorrect pull
 group settings. Bimodal distributions are indeed possible, but should
 require very long sampling times to achieve, and I doubt that you are at
 those times yet. Your Fc is fine. Post your pull settings.

 When i did the Umbrella sampling of frames from an SMD (of ligand
 transport), I am getting bimodal histograms in some cases.

 Do you think this is because , the force constant that i used is very low
 (i
 used pull_k1=1000).? Are these bimodal peaks may cause any deviation in my
 PMF result? Do I need to repeat the sampling again with another pull_k1
 value(higher value)?

[gmx-users] umbrella sampling-Bimodal Histograms

2010-06-21 Thread Aswathy
Hi Friends,

When i did the Umbrella sampling of frames from an SMD (of ligand
transport), I am getting bimodal histograms in some cases.

Do you think this is because , the force constant that i used is very low (i
used pull_k1=1000).? Are these bimodal peaks may cause any deviation in my
PMF result? Do I need to repeat the sampling again with another pull_k1
