In a classic paper by T. Chaetham III and P. Kollman "Molecular Dynamics
Simulations Highlight the Structural Differences among DNA : DNA , RNA :
RNA , and DNA : RNA Hybrid Duplexes" JACS 1997, they mentioned:
"For 1000 frames, the expected number of waters per grid element, assuming
bulk water density, is 4.18. " 1000 Frames corresond to 1 ns in their
calculations, as the interval was 1 ps.

Could somebody explain the physical chemistry principles that connects
number of hits in 1 ns to density. I need exact physical mathematical
derivation. you can simply to refer to a reference if it is easier. Many
thanks.
