The analytical calculation of instantaneous collective force by Equation 3 requires the second derivatives of collective variables with respect to Cartesian coordinates. Since this can be prohibitive for complex collective variables such as the simple base-pair parameters, Equation 3 is evaluated numerically by a finite-difference approach, as suggested by Darve et al.

Therefore, each CV involved in ABF simulations must be discretized by specifying an interval in which the sampling is performed and the number of intervals (bins) for discretization, for further details, see [[ABF:Collective variables]]. The increasing number of bins improves the accuracy of Equation 5 but it also increases the noise because of a smaller number of samples collected in a bin. A reasonable compromise is the number of bins, which leads to 0.1 Å or 1-2° bin widths.
