摘要: Abstract Density functional theory calculations were carried out employing a set of truncated model systems for the EcClC Cl − transport protein and mutants. Geometry optimizations implied possible additional binding site near residue R147. Analysis based on Lowdin Natural charge models showed that significant (about 30%) charges bound ions smeared among solvation shells gating E148, whose delocalized pi bonds provide good accommodations transferred charges. The extensive anion-pi transfer along translocation path might help to smooth/level energy profiles transport.
