[gmx-users] Re: lateral diffusion coefficient of bilayer

[LeeHwan-kyu]

Dear gmx-users,

Thanks for the answer, but I already saw about P atom and tried it, but didn't work.  It looks like the problem is more related to center of mass removal or PBC (size effect).  Could you please explain how to solve this problem? Details are explained below in my previous email.
Thanks,

Did you follow the thread I started here:
 
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-January/031797.html
 
I got some great information when I was getting some strange values for D.  What
group are you using to calculate D?  The suggestion that David gave me about
using P atoms only for the calculation led me to much more reasonable results.
