Electrostatic solvation energies in kcal/mol from the full system CPCM, EE-GMFCC-CPCM_Amber94 and EE-GMFCC-CPCM_PPC calculations, respectively, at the HF/6-31G* level. EE-GMFCC-CPCM_Amber94 and EE-GMFCC-CPCM_PPC represent the fragment calculations performed with the electrostatically embedded Amber94 charges and with the polarized protein-specific charges (PPCs), respectively.
