The normalized potentials of the atoms shown have the meaning of the dielectric depth measured from the P-side of the membrane. The charge transfer between any of the atoms shown will produce membrane potential proportional to the difference of the potentials of the atoms. The shown data are discussed in the text.

a

This is an abbreviated version of the data. A more complete table is given in the Supplementary information.

b

BNC is defined as the midpoint between Heme a3/Fe and CuB/Cu.

c

The water molecule located between the two propionates of heme a3 and His326. Its position is estimated from the crystallography structure 1 V55[23].
