Release of the protons from the substrate water molecules is prerequisite for O2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII). Proton-releasing water molecules with low pKa values at the catalytic moiety can be the substrate water molecules. In some studies, one of the ligand water molecules, W2, is regarded as OH. However, the PSII crystal structure shows neither proton acceptor nor proton-transfer pathway for W2, which is not consistent with the assumption of W2 = OH. Here we report the pKa values of the four ligand water molecules, W1 and W2 at Mn4 and W3 and W4 at Ca2+, of the Mn4CaO5 cluster. pKa(W1) ≈ pKa(W2) << pKa(W3) ≈ pKa(W4) in the Mn4CaO5 cluster in water. However, pKa(W1) ≈ pKa(D1-Asp61) << pKa(W2) in the PSII protein environment. These results suggest that in PSII, deprotonation of W2 is energetically disfavored as far as W1 exists.

光系统 II 中放氧 Mn 4 CaO 5 簇中配体水分子的 p K a

从底物水分子中释放质子是光系统 II (PSII) 中O 2演化的先决条件。在催化部分具有低 p K a值的质子释放水分子可以是底物水分子。在一些研究中,配体水分子之一 W2 被视为 OH -。然而,PSII 晶体结构显示 W2 既没有质子受体也没有质子转移途径,这与 W2 = OH -的假设不一致。在这里,我们报告了 Mn 4 CaO 5簇的四个配体水分子的 p K a值,Mn4 处的 W1 和 W2 以及 Ca 2+处的 W3 和 W4。pK _a (W1) ≈ p K a (W2) << p K a (W3) ≈ p K a (W4) 在水中的Mn 4 CaO 5团簇中。然而,在 PSII 蛋白环境中,p K a (W1) ≈ p K a (D1-Asp61) << p K a (W2)。这些结果表明,在 PSII 中,只要 W1 存在,W2 的去质子化在能量上是不利的。
