[gmx-users] diffusivity computations

2006-06-14 Thread Debashis Dutta

Hi all,
  I have been trying to estimate the diffusivity of an alanine 
molecule in water with the .mdp file (for md simualtions) given below.


When I plot the mean square displacement, however I do not see a linear 
variation with time (which is what I expected). Moreover, the estimated 
diffusivity (using the g_msd command) looks reasonable (1e-5 cm^2/s) 
for runs shorter than 0.1 ns. If I run it further, the diffusivity 
keeps increasing to values of 1e-3 cm^2/s (for 10 ns runs). Any 
comments or sugestions?

[gmx-users] dialanine

2006-06-08 Thread Debashis Dutta

Hi,
  I am seeking help in creating the .pdb file for a dialanine 
molecule using the databank. I have the parameters for a single alanine 
molecule. how do i go from here.


Thanks
Debashis
