where E...? Actually, what'd be E(AB) and E(A+B)?

	I can know E(Protein), E(Ligand), E(SOL) and E(ION), however I
think E(System) is not equal to the direct sum of the partial energies.
To simplify, I just want a rude evaluation for energy of interaction of
the complex Protein/Ligand, i.e. E(Protein/Ligand).

	So, could you both, please, clarify me a little bit more?

I beg your pardon if I'm being fool.
