Initially I used g_wham -if pullf-files.dat -it tpr-files.dat -unit Kcal -histo. But now as suggested by you I added -b 1000 -e 10000 leaving 1ns for equilibriation. The new profile.xvg is attached. How can I further improve it.


I don't know. You've never even stated what your system is, how you decided on the window spacing or time in each window, etc. It may be that your simulations are too short. You have a few regions along the reaction coordinate that are not well-sampled, which could contribute to some rockiness in the PMF.

        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 have pulled one of the chain from an initial COM distance
               value of 3.65 A to 7.90 A. When I look this trajectory in
        VMD I
               find that the


           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.
