Hello,
Yes this was discussed last month.
quick synopsis:
binding energies include an entropy term not easily determined from
classical methods. Interaction energies can be gained by looking at the
the totalpotential energy of the complex minus the sum of the potential
energy of protein alone.
As Iona pointed out this value ( the difference of two rather large
numbers) may not be relevant given error bars of each calculation.
I proposed that a some MD simulations could get the noise down enough to
gain a reasonable answer.
