Table 3.

Comparison of the H-bond donor-acceptor distances of Arg52 between the crystal structure (10) and the QM/MM optimized geometry with protonated /deprotonated Arg52 (in Å)

Crystal QM/MM (protein)
X-ray Protonated Deprotonated
Arg52-Thr50 (Nη1-OCO) 2.93 3.14 3.78
Arg52-Tyr98 (Nη2-OCO) 2.98 2.99 3.31
Rmsd 0.143 0.349

OCO = backbone carbonyl O atom. Rmsd of the optimized side chain heavy atoms of Arg52 with respect to those of the crystal structure. —; not applicable.
