The curious case of fluorescein and implicit waters

I recently was asked a straightforward task: get the energy scores of a given protein by itself, conjugated with fluorescein maleimide and its ring opened form. Despite that, I failed miserably because of implicit waters playing odd tricks.
Given that it is of no real use, I am happy to share so to give a tutorial of how to do that in Rosetta (ligand docking), which I found taxing the first time.

GFP is technically a suicide enzyme

GFP has an oxygen dependent maturation step to form its cofactor. Therefore, it could be farcically considered a suicide enzyme... It performs a reaction: it converts oxygen to peroxide —doing a single turnover.
