Using a flexible reference to generate a PMF is certainly not a good idea.

More than affecting your convergence, your distance may have only little
to do with the actual position of your ion in the channel. Imagine the ion is in a stable position and has to go over some energy barrier. It likely that the
loop will move instead of your ion ...

You might want  to change your the reaction coordinate.

Dear Aswathy:

While not technically incorrect, it will make convergence much more difficult and is probably realistically incorrect given today's cpu power. But then again perhaps you have some particularly important reason to make that choice. In the absence of that, find some atom(s) that are as static as possible.

Ok . Now I understood. I have one more doubt , as I mentioned to you, I am using one residue in the extracellular loop as a reference point. Since this is in the loop, do you think it can be good reference point (due to th large
fluctuatuion in the loop, will it affect the result)?
