Figure 3.
Reaction coordinate changes and 1D free energy profile for the full catalytic reaction along the reaction coordinate Qep=ET+(PT1a+PT1b)/2+PT2 of the protonated Asp132 system. (Top) The solid lines show the bond forming distances, the dashed lines show the bond breaking distances, as described in the text. (Bottom) Free energy profile projected onto the Qep reaction coordinate.
