Dear CCLers:
Happy New Year to all!

I did calculate electrostatic energy for several proteins to look at protein-ligand interactions using Delphi in INSIGHT2000. I got low electrostatic energy (obtained using ESP and AMBER partial charges) which lies in the range around 0.5 to 1 Kcal/mol. 

Could anybody explain the reason for why is it so low.

Thanks in advance!

sincerely,
Siva
