Thanks Justin. So, I have to calculate diffusion coefficient three times
(x,y,z) and finally add-up together to get in 3D???


If you just want the overall diffusion constant, that's what g_msd does without any additional options.

Dear Sir, Thanks for the quick reply.
So, I have to declare -type no flag. Isn't it??


The options for the -type flag are x, y, or z.  You said you wanted the
diffusion coefficient in each spatial dimension.  That is precisely what
this option will do.


  and I have recently gone through Justin's membrane protein tutorial, where


You mean my tutorial :)


  he has calculated diffusion coefficient for lipids in a membrane by
creating an index group for a particular atom. So, here also shall I do
the
same thing? Moreover, mine is a coarse-grained system.


Yes, a representative atom is usually what is passed to g_msd.

  Then, how to mention the direction for spherical particles Sir?


  Read g_msd -h again, paying specific attention to the -type flag.

Here I am giving -lateral z (like for membrane simulations). Is it
fine
for
spherical systems also?



   No.  The system is a sphere, so what use is it to calculate motion

perpendicular to z when you have lipids moving in all three spatial
dimensions?  A vesicle is very different from a membrane, in which the
lipids move in a plane, thus making "-lateral z" useful.

   Dear all,

I am simulating a spherical lipid vesicle. I want to calculate the
diffusion coefficient for each lipid component in 3D. How to
calculate
it
using g_msd (or any other tool like g_velacc)?

Thank you for your concern
