Dear Justin and Piggot,
Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, I have constructed a CG lipid vesicle
by placing lipids in random conformation in a simulation box. My lipid
system is heterogeneous, i.e., it has different types of lipids
(POPC,CHOLESTEROL,PPC...etc). Some of them occupy the outer layer of
vesicle (POPC), and some stay in the intermediate region (CHOL). So, I want
to calculate the diffusion rates of these lipids. Since POPC forms the
surface (polar heads interacting with water and their tails points to the
core), I suppose we have to calculate 2D diffusion for POPC. For the lipids
in the core, they can diffuse in 3-dimension. So, it requires a 3D
diffusion coefficient for these core lipids. How to calculate 2D and 3D
diffusion coeff.? Hope I am clear.
2D diffusion coefficients are what the -lateral option does. I really don't
understand why you want a 2D value for anything with spherical symmetry. If
there is an outer layer of a vesicle, that's as much a sphere as anything inside it.

Hi Venkat,
Can you make it a bit clearer what you actually want?
If it is the diffusion of the lipids along the curved surface of the
vesicle, rather than simply the overall 3D diffusion, this is not trivial
to calculate as I don't believe g_msd will do this for you. This property
has been studied before though, so I suggest you search the literature for
papers simulating vesicles to see how the lipid diffusion was calculated.
Cheers
Tom

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.

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.
