Hello,

I am using steered MD and umbrella sampling to generate a PMF profile for
pulling a small ligand 3 nm.  As I pull the ligand from 3A toward 0 A, the PMF
starts  a dramatic uphill climb. This does not agree with the force profile
which seems to level out. Any ideas about what might be going wrong here? I am
thinking this probably isn't correct, but I don't know where I've messed up.
Thanks! I can attach the graphs if necessary.


We'll probably need a better description of what you're doing, along with any applicable figures. It sounds to me like your ligand is crashing into something in your system, but that's just a guess based on incomplete information.
