Re: Error in PMF Calculations

Are you using ABF? At what distance from the sheet is the sampling zero?
How big is your molecule? What does the PMF look like?

My guess is that you have big bulky molecule and it is sterically
restricted from approaching the sheet as closely as you think it should. If
so, this region of the transition coordinate is very high energy and not
relevant.

Another possibility is that the definition of the transition coordinate (in
terms of atom serial numbers), is not what you think it is.
