    OK, but as you will read in g_mindist -h, it will count such atoms

    ... and identity of the atoms is needed for measuring duration of
    contact. g_dist does something like this, and reading g_mindist -h
    should have prompted you to find this out.<br>
    <br>
    Otherwise, you will have to construct an index group for each water

    <br></div>
    You also need to be clear about whether you care about continuous
    contact. Does a water molecule that oscillates at a distance around
    the cutoff reside about 50% of the time?<br>
    <br>
    You still don&#39;t need high time resolution for testing whether this
    analysis might give you the information you want. The water
    molecules that are in contact for more than 50% of the time
    (continuous or not) will show up in 5 snapsnots spaced every
    nanosecond. 5000 snapshots every picosecond is better, but not if

            Yes you can. Even if you think you need data from every
            frame, you probably don&#39;t because they&#39;re correlated with
            each other, and at the very least you can do a pilot study

            You are not likely to get a better solution if you only

                      No. If it will take too long, you need to reduce
