Could you send me your dhnp-crd_XXX.all.out files together with the
mm_pbsa.in file?

>From a practical point of view, you could use the ligand as ligand, the
surrounding water molecules as receptor (i.e. separate the coordinates
of both), and the ligand inside the solvent as complex. Then you calc a
"complex formation" between ligand and "receptor" to get the interaction
energy between both. But I'm not really sure what you want to use this
number for?
