[gmx-users] Hydrophobic contact cut-off

The standard approach in cases like this, assuming that you have some contacts at some point in your trajectory, is to use your trajectory to construct a radial distribution function (RDF) and then to define a "contact" as any interaction up to the minimum following the first maximum of the RDF.
