SBH and SB designate the protonated and unprotonated Schiff base, respectively.

In Figures 10 and 11, the cyan line marked SBH is at 1643 cm−1, which is an average for the protonated Schiff base frequency in BR, L, M, and N. The 1628 cm−1 value for O is not separately marked.

+

1560 and 1660 cm−1 are used as averaged estimates for the deprotonated and protonated Arg82, respectively.

§

For the Asp-85 COOH group, line 1 is marked at 1761 cm−1.
