摘要: Abstract Catalytic reactions of the proton and electron transfers occurring at oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) photosystem II during S 2 –S 3 transition were investigated by quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methodology. Two favorable reaction pathways elucidated. Both start moving Ca-bound water (W3) to vacant Mn(III) coordination left-opened (L) or right-opened (R) form. The former pathway, in which W3 coordinates Mn4 -L form, has lower activation barriers than latter. Thus, easier from Tyr161 phenol anion can be performed.
