[AMBER] Diffusion coefficient in implicit water

Dear Amber users,

I would like to ask you if it is meaningful to run a MD simulation in
implicit water, with the purpose to compute a self diffusion
coefficient of a certain solute.

I don't think so, because implicit solvent models can not reproduce
solvent viscosity (as far as I know) and because there are not
periodic boundary conditions when using Igb.

However, I would like to read your opinions.

Thank you in advance for your advices,

Tommaso
