The quality measures are the real-space Z-scores based on the difference maps (RSZD), the real-space R factors (RSR), the real-space correlation coefficients (RSCC) for homocitrate, the strain energy of the QM region (ΔEstr), and the sum of the difference in the Fe–O bond lengths (ΣΔd) to the homocitrate O5 (carboxylate) and O7 (alcohol) atoms in the quantum-refined structure [d(Fe–O)QR] and in a structure optimized by QM/MM without any crystallographic information [d(Fe–O)QM]. The best results of each quality measure are marked in bold face.
