Your question is ill-defined. Free energy of what? If you're looking for free
energy of ligand binding, the fact that the protein is in the membrane is of
little practical difference to any other protein-ligand complex. Compute a full
thermodynamic cycle in the binding site, and one in water, and take the difference.
The methane-in-water example is the basic idea, and discusses the process for
full cycles on ligand systems, but doesn't illustrate it explicitly. There's
tons of literature on this topic, though.
