Figure 3

Illustrating the notation used in our state diagrams. The figure depicts the groups included in the present study and the label used for each group. The joint boxes in the lower part illustrate our shorthand notation where we arrange our diagram according to the order of each element and designate each state by its charged state. The upper row depicts the electron population on the redox centers (heme a, heme a3 and CuB centers), the middle row shows the protonation state of the vectorial pKa groups from the N-side to the P-side, and the lower row shows the protonation state of the pKa groups to the bound oxygen.
