You could read the paper I referenced:
Ion-Induced Stabilization of the G-DNA Quadruplex:
Free Energy Perturbation Studies. W.S. Ross and C.C. Hardin
Journal of the American Chemical Society 116, 6070 (1994).
Radial distribution is represented by a graph of the density of one type
of atoms around another, where the x-axis is distance, averaged over all
cases of interest in a trajectory. The first peak represents the average
distance of the closest pair(s). Ptraj can calculate radial distribution.
