Hello,
I am still a beginner of amber ; the unit of MSD would be Angstrom^2 ;
in my opinion, no scaling factor is for mean square displacement and "2n
n=3" is needed for the calculation of diffusion coefficient; the calculated
diffusion coefficient is the "sug_O[Slope]/2n" n=3,
Perhaps my answer is not all correct and you need to examine them,as I am
still a beginner,
I followed up the official amber tutorial :
