maybe the original question is how to determine the % of time these two
GROUPS
are hydrogen bonded, and ptraj gives the % for the specific atom pairs.
For example, if the two atom pairs are H-bonded 50% each, it could be that
50% of the time there is a bifurcated Hbond and 50% no Hbond, or
it could be that It is 1 Hbond in 50% and the other in 50%, so 100%
of the time there is an Hbond between the groups. There just isn't a way
to tell that from the average data, you'll need to do some processing of
the
Hbonds vs time and see how often you have at least 1 of them.
If this isn't what you meant, please try to clarify exactly what you
want to calculate.
