a

Dielectric constant value for the (solvent-excluded) protein cavity volume used by the FAMBE method. Values of each of the free-energy components are given only for DI = 2 and only the desolvation free-energy components for DI = 4. All of the free-energy contributions are omitted for DI = 8 and 16 to make the table clear. The term Δgpp (given by eq 31) is not shown in this table because it represent a negligible contribution to the computation of the pK(1) shifts.

b

Desolvation free energy of the ionized group due to the protein structure and computed as the sum of the first two terms in eq 29.

c

Electrostatic interaction of a given ionized group in the protein with the electrostatic reaction field (due to the solvent) and computed as the sum of the third and fourth terms in eq 29.

d

Desolvation free energy of the neutral group due to the protein structure and computed as the sum of the first two terms in eq 30.

d

Electrostatic interaction of the neutral group in the protein with the electrostatic field (due to the solvent) and computed as the sum of the third and fourth terms in eq 30.

f

The ΔpKi(1) is calculated by using eq 28.
