a

Lifetime of each contact is counted as part of MD trajectory time (450 ns in total, the first 50 ns were not taken into account to get representative data). Weak contacts: lifetime is equal to or greater than 7% and less than 10%; short-lived contacts: lifetime is is equal to or greater than 10% but less than 20%; medium-lived contacts: lifetime is is equal to or greater than 20% but less than 50%; long-lived contacts: lifetime is is equal to or greater than 50%.
