There is no correct way to do this: the reciprocal portion of the
electrostatic contribution cannot (easily) be divided into pieces.
Also, it's fundamentally unclear what you mean by the "configurational
energy of the protein": where would you put the interaction terms
between protein and solvent?

The MM-PBSA or MM-GBSA methods approach this problem by stripping away
the waters, and substituting back in an implicit solvation term. This
may or may not provide something like what you want.

...good luck...dac
