Hi,

There is something interesting concerning these MSD calculations. If I treat 
Centre of Mass MSD  if it'd be expressed not in nm^2/ps , but Angstroms^2/ps, I 
get ideally the same results as for mass-weighted ones. And it's true for all 
my three cases, in which I performed simulation of different times. Is that 
possible there is some bug in MSD? Because as for me it looks so....

I would be amazed if GROMACS did this. Can you copy and paste from your terminal to show this?

Hope to have someone join the discussion,

Hi,

I was just wondering how MSDs in Gromacs are normalized. I am calculatiing MSDs 
for my lipid system of different timesteps of simulation and I get much higher 
results for centre of mass calculations in comparison to mass-weighted one.  
And I thought about normalization issue, but I couldn't find any informations 
concerning that topic in manual.
I'd be grateful if someone could explain how mean square displacement is 
normalized.

Cheers,
   Slawomir
