Dear Victor,
Thank you very much for your response. In principle I would like to use ABF. About the overlap between adjacent windows, does it means that I have to use overlapping windows ?. If the width of the window is 2 A, as I have read in other papers, which is then the overlap ?. Or it means that the overlap is 2 A, whatever the window range I use?.
Thanks a lot.
José

Hello,
Do you want to do ABF or US?
DistanceZ uses center of mass of the atom group. Whether or not it is a suitable RC depends on the protein itself.
On the width of US (to a lesser extent, ABF) simulations: You want sufficient overlap between adjacent windows. That is, again, system dependent.
Cheers,
Victor

Dear all,
I have been through the NAMD tutorial “Methods for calculating Potentials of Mean Force” and now I would like to obtain the PMF of a peptide through a membrane trying to applied what I think I have learned. I have already minimized and equilibrated the system (protein in the centre of the membrane) and have run SMD on the system through the z direction. So far so good.
I want to obtain now the PMF using ABF but I am standing without really knowing what to do. The coordinate I should use is the z direction and have to select different windows (equally spaced) that cover the entire previous simulation.
The protein changes its structure in a significant way while it passes through the membrane and its centre of mass, relative to the centre of the bilayer, changes significantly through the simulation. I suppose the minimum range of the windows I have to work with should be that one that encompass the entire protein. Am I right ?. But in similar works I have read, the range of the windows is rather small (2 A). Which is really the range I should use ?. Independent of the protein size and/or its centre of mass?.
Thanks a lot for your help.
José
