As opposed to what alternative? I'm a bit confused here. If you want the
"fraction folded", then you need to come up with some metric for deciding
whether a protein is 'folded' or not, and you count up the number of
snapshots that are 'folded' and divide that by the total number of
snapshots you are considering.
Some people consider all snapshots; others omit some for one reason or
another -- it all depends on what questions you want to ask or what you're
hoping to learn.
