Binding free energies and individual energy terms of complexes starting from docked conformations (kcal/mol). The polar (ΔEpolar = ΔEele + ΔGele,sol) and non-polar (ΔEnon-polar = ΔEvwd + ΔGnpol,sol) contributions are shown. All the energies are averaged over 500 snapshots at time intervals of 100 ps from the last 50 ns-long MD simulations and are in kcal/mol (± standard error of the mean)
