Table 7.

For differently minimized structures, the ΔΔGelec RMSD values are listed when corresponding sets across force fields are compared. The LEFT panels present the RMSD when bound/unbound states of monomeric chains were identical (‘Complex Minimized Only’) and the RIGHT panel presents the RMSD when monomers and their complexes were all individually minimized (non-identical bound/unbound state; ‘Complex + Chain Minimized’). NONMIN – protonated X-ray structures; MIN-500 – structures minimized for 500 CG steps and MIN-5000 – structures minimized for 5000 CG steps.

For the NONMIN set, the Bound/Unbound states of the monomers are the same. Hence, the corresponding fields do not contain any values. The change occurs only after minimization (MIN-500/5000).
