Hi George,
When you do the per residue decomposition of the enthalpic part of free
energy, the script calculates teh contribution of each specified residue.
Are u decomposing it over all the residues and reporting sum of all the
residues over here like-
DELTA G binding = -46.6213 +/- 3.1112 0.1663
                           (given by per-residue entropy decomposition)

so is it the sum over all the residues ??
