Hi Chris Sorry I sent my e-mail just prior to receiving yours? Is it any clearer?

To rephrase it - If the pullx.xvg files contain X Y Z dX > dY dZ, (because pull_dim = Y Y Y), does the g_wham programme calculate > the centre of mass distances to use in the histogram i.e. Will the first > column in the histo.xvg file be the centre of mass distances (the > modulus of the three vector components)? > > Cheers > > Gavin > > Gavin Melaugh wrote: >> Hi All >> >> I have generated a series of configurations for two molecules >> approaching along the z axis.
