   Bases: :py:obj:`prolint.computers.base.ContactComputerBase`


   Distance-based contact detection using MDAnalysis FastNS.

   Computes contacts between query and database atom groups using
   a grid-based neighbor search algorithm for efficiency.

   :param universe: ProLint Universe instance.
   :type universe: Universe
   :param query: Query atoms (e.g., protein).
   :type query: ExtendedAtomGroup
   :param database: Database atoms (e.g., lipids).
   :type database: ExtendedAtomGroup
   :param cutoff: Distance cutoff in Angstroms.
   :type cutoff: float
   :param \*\*kwargs: Additional arguments passed to MDAnalysis AnalysisBase.
   :type \*\*kwargs: dict

   .. rubric:: Examples

   >>> from prolint import Universe
   >>> u = Universe("topology.gro", "trajectory.xtc")
   >>> contacts = u.compute_contacts(cutoff=7.0)
