Charles,

Well, I see that the delta G's are 271 kcal/mol for EGB and 278 for
EPB. This difference is within the uncertainty of both energy terms,
and a fantastic agreement for a protein-ligand binding reaction.

Considering the higher effective solute dielectric that is typical for
binding involving ions, this difference would be reduced to ~1/4 or
less of what you see here.

You may take a look of the factors influencing the quality of binding
affinities in a recent publication of us:

All the best,
Ray
