These two plots show the same information as the original two. I can think
of only two possible explanations:
1) You are not performing equilibrium sampling because your simulations are
too short and the snapshots are biased by the configurations generated
while relaxing to the 'new' location of the biasing potential (I say 'new'
since I assume you take the final snapshot of the previous window as the
starting coordinate for the next one).
2) You have somehow incorporated a 180 degree phase shift into your
measurement of the dihedral angles. This is deceptively easy to do given
the periodicity of torsion angles.
