MM/GBSA binding free energies for CYP2C9 dimers

Calculated binding free energies for top-scored interactions predicted by GRAMM-X for 1R9O bound to CPR, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4. Values in parentheses are standard deviations. All values are based on at least 50 snapshots from a single trajectory spaced by 10 ps to avoid correlation between models.
