Statistics for the dipole moment (/Debye) and pI (calculated from http://www.expasy.ch/tools/pi_tool.html) for the individual domains and the whole protein from each of the six simulations, plus the static values from the crystal structures of wild-type human γD-crystallin and R58H mutant and the model structure for the P23T mutant. It can be seen that the simulation of human γD-crystallin wild-type allows the dipole moments to relax from the values seen in the crystal lattice.
