The error for E/D values obtained in the present study is very large due to the broad distribution of E values that had to be assumed in the simulations. These values are obtained from the center of a broad Gaussian distribution of E (see text for more details).

b

Cluster model containing water as the fifth ligand (Figure 7b).

c

Cluster model containing hydroxide as the fifth ligand (Figure 7c).

d

Cluster model containing hydroxide as the fifth ligand with a hydrogen bond to a solvent water (Figure 7d).

e

Initial structure for QM/MM optimization based on the X-ray crystal structure of Co(II)-containing W132F OxDC variant.

f

Initial structure for QM/MM optimization from in silico modification of the X-ray crystal structure of WT OxDC (1UW8).

g

Not applicable.

In the text, we report either the positive or the negative D value as obtained by calculation. In this table, however, we give only absolute values for D in the case of the C-terminal site because the sign of this parameter could not be experimentally determined.
