pull_k1         = 1000      ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2

Please tell me my profile.xvg and histo.xvg are fine or not. In profile.xvg why i am not getting smooth convergence.

They're not terrible, but could be better. The PMF profile is a little rough and there are some regions of the reaction coordinate with little sampling. Maybe your simulations need to be longer and/or you need to exclude some amount of time at the beginning of each as equilibration (which you probably should do anyway, but without seeing your g_wham command, there's no way to know what you may or may not be considering).

    I will have to assume you mean nm.  Gromacs does not deal in
    Angstrom, and these distances would be within any sensible
    short-range cutoff and thus not indicative of actual separation.


        chain is completely separated. But even at this separation the
        profile.xvg file does not show its convergence to one value. I
        sent this file to you earlier.


    Sorry, I don't have a photographic memory, nor can I recall if
    you've ever posted your .mdp file, or at the very least, told us how
    much sampling you've done in each window.  It may well be that your
    simulations are simply too short to observe adequate
    post-equilibration sampling.
