Hi Chris, Druz Thank you very much for your reply. Indeed I have read several papers where the diffusion of water at the membrane surface have been computed. Since the diffusion of the interfacial water is an useful properties to examine the micelle/surface irregularities, I would hope that this option exist in gromacs. Unfortunately, it is not the case, so i will try your suggestions .

Sounds like you might do something similar. I doubt that the standard gromacs tools will do this for you. If you don't hear from anybody about how to do this, then I'd suggest that you simply use g_dist to get the time-dependent distance for each water molecule and then use g_traj to output the coordinates of each water molecule and then script it yourself after reading one of the papers where people compute depth-dependent diffusion profiles for a lipid bilayer. Chris. -- original message -- I would like to compute the translational diffusion around the micelle surface. I know that I can select the water molecules at x distance of the micelle surface with g_select (right ?) but how to use this file generated by g_select to compute de diffusion, since the index and/or the number of water will change with the simulation time .
