[gmx-users] how many contacts has a certain atom at MD

Regarding my previous question. I performed 2 simulations (minimization,
NVT, NPT, and that 10ns production run), one with 300K and another with
309K. Fir each temperature I calculated how many contacts has my molecule
with water within a certain distance. But the number of contacts at
different temperatures is the same. It differs on 0.1. I think it has
something to do with pressure. I would really like to be able to perform
simulations that I could get correct different value of number of contacts
versus temperature.

Please could you advice me on this?

best,
Olga
