Table 3:

Decomposition of the average energy difference between randomly selected compact and extended structures of CLN025 mini-protein. ΔE=EcompactEextended (kcal/mol). Standard error of the mean is shown next to each of the values. Here ΔΔE=ΔE(TIP4PEw)ΔE(TIP3P). The small difference, < 1 kcal/mol, in ΔE for protein-protein interactions is the consequence of the finite strength of positional restraints used in the simulation, and is not relevant to the following discussion.
