Dual boost accelerated md energy parameters?

Dear users

I have a question about dual boost aMD in NAMD. I have read Miao et al, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys, 2014 as well as Miao, Nichols et al, PNAS, 2014 about how to estimate the boost potential for a membrane system, which seems quite straightforward except for one thing.

When I do dual boost aMD, do the total potential energy and total number of atoms refer to the complete system (i.e. protein+membrane+solvent+ions) or just the bit that is being boosted (presumably), i.e. protein+membrane?

I have a few hundred thousand water molecules, so obviously both the total potential energy and the number of atoms would be hugely different depending on the answer.

Thanks
