The position-dependent diffusion constant can also be calculated in molecular dynamics simulations, as described in ref 33. However, for a united atom model of hydrocarbon chains this is not likely to be more accurate than the estimate discussed here.

63. Since, contrary to the assumptions of the transition state theory, not all trajectories of the ion initiated on one side of the bilayer reach the opposite side, P should be multiplied by the transmission coefficient, κ, that corrects for this fact. In the simplest model, (a) the trajectory is reactive (leads to a successful ion transfer) only if it is accompanied by a fluctuation defect on the outgoing side of the membrane, and (b) the probabilities of finding a defect on either side of the membrane are identical. Then κ = 0.5.
