Is calculation of water diffusion in MD done in 2D or 3D?

I am trying to calculate the water diffusion in a hydrated bilayer system. Here I wish to know if the water diffusion normally calculated in 2D (x-y)or 3D (x-y-z)? Hope I get some insight on...

How can I determine bilayer thickness and d-spacing from simulation?

I would like to determine bilayer repeat distance (d-spacing) from a simulation of a bilayer in water. This bilayer has water layer at the top. Followed by two monolayers and another single water...

How do you find the average vector for lipids in bilayers?

I have simulated a lipid bilayer. The trajectory has about 20000 frames. Each frame contains 128 lipids where 64 lipids reside in the upper layer and the rest in the lower layer. I want to...

Any suggestions for finding fitting function?

I am trying to fit a correlation function as attached in this post. Normally, single exponent function is used to fit the function. Since this plot has negative range, single exponent function...

Can anyone advise on a model for atomistic simulation with a water layer in between two bilayers?

Recently, I had an idea to simulate hydrated bilayers. The model that I am interested on is a double bilayer with a water layer in-between the bilayers. Something like (bilayer-water-bilayer). I...

Can anyone help with anisotropic and semi-anisotropic pressure couplings?

In literature, there are some bilayer simulation work apply anisotropic pressure couplings. Whereas, some use semi-anisotropic pressure couplings. Technically I know what these pressure couplings...

I would like to know the meaning of "axial diffusion" of lipids in membrane bilayer?

Lipids in membrane bilayer do exhibit few types of motion, e.g: rotational motion, translation motion, vibration and so on. But I am quite unsure how the motion would like to be for axial diffusion.

Does anyone gave experience with auto correlation function plot giving negative values?

I am simulating a bilayer and intend to calculate some dynamical properties. I tried to calculate the relaxation time for the chains in the hydrophobic region. For this I choose a vector along the...

How to determine the lipid-bilayer distance from small angle X-ray study and molecular dynamics simulation study.

In X-ray study, normally the bilayer repeat distance is determined (shown as D in this paper (Nagle, J.F. and S. Tristram-Nagle, Lipid bilayer structure. Current opinion in structural biology,...
