Dear users, This time, I calculated the diffusion coefficients of protein for each 10 ns of the simulation providing a total simulation time of 200 ns. g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.top -o msd1.xvg -trestart 20 -beginfit -1 -endfit -1 -b 0 -e 10000 g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.top -o msd2.xvg -trestart 20 -beginfit -1 -endfit -1 -b 10001 -e 20000 g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.top -o msd3.xvg -trestart 20 -beginfit -1 -endfit -1 -b 20001 -e 30000 .... g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.top -o msd20.xvg -trestart 20 -beginfit -1 -endfit -1 -b 190001 -e 200000
I have strange Diffusion results (especially 10,50,100,150,200 ns). How can I fix this problem?

The number of frame is 5001 (write .xtc trajectory every 20 ps). I looked at RMSD vs average structure, RMSD vs starting structure, Radius of gyration, RMSD matrix. This simulation has reached to converge at last 50 ns. > g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -o msd_1.xvg -b 0 -e 10000 > g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -o msd_2.xvg -b 10000 -e 20000 > g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -o msd_3.xvg -b 20000 -e 30000 > ... > g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -o msd_10.xvg -b 90000 -e 100000 > > 1.) I used the above commands without the following flags ( -type, -lateral and -ten). Which diffusion will the above comands give? is it bulk diffusion? > Gromacs manual: > -type:Compute diffusion coefficient in one direction:no, x, y or z > -lateral:Calculate the lateral diffusion in a plane perpendicular to: no, x, y or z > -ten:Calculate the full tensor > 2.) I plotted diffusions (10 values) as function of time. Diffusions dont converge. Did I do any steps by mistake? > 3.) From manual: > The diffusion constant is calculated by least squares fitting a straight line (D*t + c)... > What is (D*t + c)? What are the meaning of D and c? > 4.)
