Hydrogen bonding between biotin and streptavidin in three simulations. To improve statistics and simplify the table, we did not consider the two monomers of the crystallographic asymmetric units separately; error estimates come from standard deviations for 16 monomers in each of the lattice simulations and four monomers in the solution phase simulation.
