Hi,
I was interested in calculating the diffusion constant of the center of mass
of entire lipid-bilayer ( not individual lipid molecules). Regarding this, I
had two doubts I wanted to clarify:
1. Since I am interested in calculating the diffusion constant of the
bilayer iteself, I guess I should allow the drift of the bilayer and hence
not then remove the center of mass motion of bilayer (and solvent ) separately.
Is that right ? If so, is it still OK to remove the center of mass of whole
system ( bilayer + water together ) ?
2. How to calculate the mean square displacement of center of mass of the
entire bilayer. I guess, g_msd program by default, calculate the diffusion
constant of the individual atoms or molecules. But, is there a way to get
the diffusion constant of the entire bilayer center of mass ? If I specify the
index group which consist of all the atoms of the bilayer, will g_msd provide
the diffusion constant of its center of mass or it will give the diffusion
constant of individual atoms ? I guess, in that case, one should not use
-rmcomm option . Is that right ?
Thanks
Jagannath
