[gmx-users] Can g_wham support using different temperature for different windows?

[Jianguo Li]

Dear all,

I want to get the PMF of my peptide across the membrane bilayer. First I pulled 
my peptide across the membrane and then did windowed umbrella sampling along the 
reaction coordinates which is the z-distance between peptide and membrane. 
However, I found that sampling is not sufficient  in some windows(e.g., around 
the center of the membrane). To enhance the sampling, I am thinking to run the 
simulation in those windows at higher temperature (e.g., 500K), but this will 
introduce a bias. My question is: can g_wham remove the bias due to using 
different temperatures in different windows? 


If g_wham cannot deal with the bias due to using different T, I may need to do 
REMD in those windows. But that will be very expensive computationally. Anybody 
have an idea of enhancing sampling in those windows?

Btw, I am using Martini CG model.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated, thank you!

Cheers,
Jianguo
