There are some decomposition options in mm_pbsa that may be of interest.
You would probably treat the solute as a "ligand" and the solvent as the
"receptor". As others have noted, however, this sort of analysis may miss
important features -- it was designed for "receptors" with well-defined
structures, not really for solvents.
