Voytek,

If you really want to focus on the agreement of charging free energies
between PME and PB, indeed these suggested parameters do not satisfy
the requirement. We routinely have to scale these parameters to match
the charging free energies between the two. For example, see a recent
study in

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.7b09616

However, if you compare the MMPBSA affinities with expt values, these
parameters only play small roles as the apparent solute dielectric is
usually as high as 4 to 20 (charged active sites). However, your
system may be different, so it's good to do an independent analysis
and try different parameter sets to see whether your systems perform
better with a particular parameter set.

Regarding the binding calculation, if I understand your question
correctly, there are three MMPBSA runs for complex, receptor, and
ligand, respectively.

All the best,
Ray
