Hi,

If you're reporting a diffusion coefficient, they're probably looking for
you to justify that you're out of the short-time subdiffusive regime. My
experience is in bilayer simulations, where the MSD hits that regime
typically in the time lag range of ~10-20 ns.

For a qualitative estimate of whether you've reached the long timescale
limit, you don't need a log-log plot, you can just eyeball when the MSD
goes linear, and (again in my experience) that's generally sufficient. A
log-log plot may make it easier to see, or catch some subtler trends.

Maybe take a look at "Non-brownian diffusion in lipid membranes:
experiments and simulations", by Metzler, Jeon, and Cherstvy, particularly
some of the later figures look at the extent of subdiffusion with log-log
plots.

Hi,

"a log-log plot of the MSD vs. time, from which one could judge whether

Any clue what the referee is looking for? References?

[gmx-users] Mean square displacement on Log-Log plot?

2018-12-10 Thread David van der Spoel

Hi,

unusual request, but here goes. I am dealing with a referee to one of my 
papers who is asking for a mean square displacement plots:


"a log-log plot of the MSD vs. time, from which one could judge whether 
the long-time limit subject to multiple collisions and obstructions is 
actually reached."


Any clue what the referee is looking for? References?

[gmx-users] mean square displacement

2014-09-09 Thread Nidhi Katyal
Hello all

I would like to plot mean square displacement of hydrogen atoms of protein
versus temperature (in order to get dynamical transition temperature). I am
using g_msd for this purpose (g_msd -f *_nopbc.xtc -s *.tpr -n index.ndx -o
*.xvg) . I am getting following curves as uploded in :

http://s903.photobucket.com/user/nidhikatyal1989/media/msd_fig1_zpsc293a5ab.jpg.html


How should I plot msd value versus temperature? Is it reasonable enough to
take average over 2 ns (linear part) and discard the rest? Moreover, I
suspect there is something wrong in the curves too since they are
increasing first, reaching saturation and again increasing (last part is
unexpected).

Actually I am trying to reproduce the results of following paper:
 THE JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS 130, 135101 2009, FIG 9 (a)

My values are also deviating by larger amount. Am I doing something wrong?

Please help.

Thanks
Nidhi
