Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Your question is pretty broad and depends on what you're researching,
but in general I believe it makes sense to study solute-solvent
hydrogen bonds. Water typically makes up the majority of your system,
and how it interacts with the solvent often has important effects on
structure/dynamics. In particular, "bridging" waters (i.e. waters
bonded to 2 or more solute residues) often have a large impact on
solute structure. Water-based analyses such as GIST/SPAM can then help
tease out the thermodynamic properties of such waters.

Hope this helps,

-Dan
