I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, or what you're saying your result
is, but I'll try my best to explain based on how I interpreted your email.
If you're using a multiple trajectory approach, then it's perfectly
reasonable to be getting a change in the internal energy upon binding.
However, if you're using a single trajectory approach, then all internal
potential terms should exactly cancel, since the internal coordinates of all
bonded interactions remain exactly the same. I would be OK with slight
variations based on round-off error when converting cartesian coordinates to
internal coordinates, but 318.2 kcal/mol is too large in this instance.
Hope this helps,
Jason
