TABLE III.

Mean absolute error of the binding energy from the 6 water trimers compared with BSSE corrected binding energies from PBE0/aug-cc-pVTZ (PBE0/6-311++G(d,p)).

QM MM MAE, Ebind
meV kcal/mol
PBE0 AMOEBA 76.80 (68.88) 1.7711 (1.5885)
PBE0 TIP3P 9.92 (1.54) 0.2287 (0.0355)
AMOEBA 5.46 (39.36) 0.1259 (0.9076)
TIP3P 63.84 (97.74) 1.4724 (2.2540)

These calculations are effectively measuring the error in the QM/MM interactions.
