Thanks Justin. That's reassuring. However, I was wondering if any smoothing function is used in getting the melted fractions at intermediate temperatures with 1-K resolution. I could not find it in the description of the g_kinetics program. I need to know this because - (1) to justify my result to a person who would ask how I am getting values more than the number of replicas being used and (2) if I know the smoothing function then I would be able to estimate the temperature when folded fraction f=0. Because then I would be able to extract the free energy of complete unfolding as currently the melted fraction stops as 0.278.

> So, as you can see, I got folded fraction and associated free energy change at each temperature ranging from 260-420K.

This is exactly what g_kinetics is supposed to do.  It is hard-coded to produce 
a melting curve at 1-K intervals from 260K to
 420K, for whatever reason.  It 
could easily be changed by modifying the code, but as far as I can see, this is 
the expected behavior.
