Indeed, as you'll see in the provided png files, I saw the same thing. I'm attributing it to a sampling issue (taking the easy way out!), but I wanted to be sure the simulations as given could be completed in a relatively short time. Probably it would be a good for you to run them longer to see if the PMF improves relative to Fig. 5A.

I merged the outputs I then I run abf_integration following the instructions of the tutorial. In this map the C7ax spot have around 3 kcal/mol more than the alphaL area.
