  1. Decomposition of the residue-wise contributions (Ebindres) into the molecular mechanics net non-bonded interaction energies (EMM), polar solvation energies (Epolar) and, non-polar solvation energies (Enon−polar) are summarized. Residues within 5 Å of the ligands ZMA241385 and NECA in the binding pocket of the crystal structure of the A2A AR-ligand complex (PDB ids: 3EML and 2YDV, respectively) and that contributed favorably to the binding energies of both the ligands by <  − 1.00 kJ/mol are shown in bold.
