Hi,

What is your pull geometry, and is your RNA periodic or somehow kept aligned with the x or z axes?

Yes I have pulled upto 20 nm. The distance between final nanoparticle and
one end of the RNA is 48 nm. Total box size is 12 50 12. And there is no
periodic image interactions also. Please tell me what could be the reason
in this case.

Thanks

Thank you for your kind reply.

I pull the RNA from one end of the strand away from nanoparticle.
Nanoparticle contains 200 atoms. The distance between center of mass of
nanoparticle and RNA in last window is 20 nm only.

Dear Sathish,

Do you actually pull it 20 nm from the DNA, or is your plot showing the
wrong units? If that is correct, you have very long-reaching effective
interactions in your system. How big is your nanoparticle?

Kind regards,
Erik

Dear gromacs-users,

                          I have run umbrella samplling for RNA and
nanoparticle. For this system, I got the PMF in which there is no
plateau
value and it has constant minimum value. in the last window of umbrella
samplling, there is no interaction between RNA and nanoparticle and even
though adding of more windows also I am not getting plateu value in PMF
profile. From this profile can i calculate the binding free energy?
please
suggest me.

The link for the PMF profile
