Calculate Binding Energies

Dear All

I have done the docking using CDOCKER and subjected the best pose to "calculate binding energies" . I am confused with the results. Looking forward your kind advice. Thank you

Mai

1) How should i interpret the results? by looking for Binding E, or complex E? [the more negative the better it is?]

2) Y2, Y3, Y4, Y6, Y8, Y9, Y10, Y11, Y23, Y29, Y31 and Y35, seems giving me a positive binding energy, which means the compounds are not stable in binding right, but the in vitro assay proved others wise, does that mean there is something wrong in the stimulation (parameters are attached below)?
