Hi Dallas,

Thanks!

OK, that was a miss. However, when I make the " -e 300000 ", even then the
same error comes. Also, when I remove the -b or -e options [that is using
default ones], the error remains:

Not enough points for fitting (0).
Can not determine the diffusion constant.

 Can you please help in making an example that shows how to put -b -e
-beginfit -endfit consistently? Say, I want to use all the frames in my
trajectory. So, in this case, as I have 300ns [or 300,000ps] trajectory,
lets put -b 0 & -e 300,000. Now, say, I want to do fitting from 100ns up to
300ns. So, I put: -beginfit 100000 & -endfit 300000:

In total:

g_msd -f noWAT_all_sys3_xray_1ns_300ns.dcd.xtc -s noWAT_sys3_xray.tpr -o
msd.xvg -rmcomm -b 0 -e 300000 -beginfit 100000 -endfit 300000 -trestart 10
-lateral z

again, fails to calculate diffusion coefficient.

Please check and suggest further.

Many Thanks,
--- Lalit
