Comparison of the docking energy of complexes from LRDPSO and LGA.

ComplexBinding free energy (kcal/mol)Vdw + Hbond + desolv energy (kcal/mol)Electrostatic energy (kcal/mol)Intermolecular energy (kcal/mol)Internal energy (kcal/mol)

LRDPSO docking−16.80−16.86−5.61−22.47−2.62
LGA docking−12.74−14.51−3.90−18.40−4.33

Vdw = van der Waals; Hbond = hydrogen bonds; desolv = desolvation.
