have now negative distances in pullx.xvg. I don't know if the fact that we now have negative numbers makes any problem for WHAM (from the *.tpr we would expect that we have only positive numbers). Wish you luck. greetings thomas Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:47:43 +0000 From: Gavin Mela

Hi Justin Again, many thanks for the reply. So when the COM distance changes sign, what effect does that have on the distribution of the COM distance about the mean value for that window i.e. If say my ref dist in 0 nm and the umbrella sampling allows the distance to sample distances say at 0.02 n
