Dear community,

I am trying to figure out how potential energy contributions sum up to the total
potential energy. With g_energy, I can get the following energy contributions of
my solvated protein system:

a) protein-protein
b) protein-solvent
c) solvent-solvent

I have two questions:

1) I guess the total potential energy would be 
Etot = a + 0.5*b + c

2) Would there be an additional term coming from water molecule bonded energy
terms? If I call this term d, is there a way to get it? I would finally have:

Etot = a + 0.5*b + c + d

Thank you very much for any info!!

Pascal
