Dear all;
I am trying to run ABF to get energy profiles of a channel, I am getting
some inconsistent results, although the ligand moves along the channel the
PMF value I got from ABF keeps increasing. But in the energy landscape there
are peaks, and minimas.
I have selected 10-15A windows to run at a time, can this be a problem? Has
anyone faced this problem before?

I pasted the abf parameters I use:

Thank you
