Dear Sir,
I tried using hormonic potential as u told in the earlier mail. I used
rk2=rk3=30.0. For the value of spring constant I doubled the value and
submitted to the WHAM. But the free energy is not calculated properly. The
output of HWAM is as follows:
# ../../wham/wham 0.0 360.0 100 0.0 300.0 0 test1.out test1.o
#Number of windows = 1
# Dumping simulation biases, in the metadata file order
# Window F (free energy units)
# 0 nan
The output file saved shows the following:
#Coor Free +/- Prob +/-
1.800000 nan nan nan nan
5.400000 nan nan nan nan
9.000000 nan nan nan nan
12.600000 nan nan nan nan
16.200000 nan nan nan nan
19.800000 nan nan nan nan
23.400000 nan nan nan nan
27.000000 nan nan nan nan
30.600000 nan nan nan nan
34.200000 nan nan nan nan
37.800000 nan nan nan nan
41.400000 nan nan nan nan
45.000000 nan nan nan nan
48.600000 nan nan nan nan
52.200000 nan nan nan nan
55.800000 nan nan nan nan
59.400000 nan nan nan nan
63.000000 nan nan nan nan
66.600000 nan nan nan nan
70.200000 nan nan nan nan
...............
Could u please suggest me anything on this?
Thanks and regards,
Sai
