Hi

Is it possible to use the GROMACS methods g_msd or g_velacc to calculate
parameters (i.e the diffusion coefficient) when the parameter value varies
with position (eg. diffusion of a nanoparticle through a lipid bilayer)?
If so, how?

If not, are there any other GROMACS methods that can be used to obtain
this position-dependent diffusion coefficient from a trajectory file?


Presumably you should be able to analyze the diffusion during different time frames within the trajectory using -b and -e with any command. That would allow you to measure diffusion constants in different environments, assuming you have enough data in each environment to make reasonable observations.
