How did you come up with your "expected" values? What does the original msd.xvg plot look like? It should be basically linear. If it's not, then you have found the source of your problem.

Dear users,

Again, I have strange results (for 10,50,100,150,200 ns). I am wondering,
is there a bug with g_msd?


I see no evidence for a bug, and you should avoid such speculation unless
you know exactly how the program should behave. Only then, after an
analysis of known quantities or behavior, can we discuss bugginess. Do you
know how g_msd works? Do you know what all of the flags are doing, or are
you just making adjustments hoping for clarity? You may find the following
post very illuminating:

if I do as you said, I will get only one diffusion coefficient. I
want
to
calculate one diffusion coefficient for each 10
ns of the simulation time of 200 ns. That is, I want to get 20
diffusion
values.

Set trestart to 10001 (no restarts), or do one run with

g_msd -f traj.xtc -s topol.top -o msd20.xvg -trestart 10000



I believe the advice was to increase "trestart" and you can decide
yourself how much to increase.

Most likely, your protein deserves better sampling than 10 ns for a
linear diffusion.
