FIGURE 2.

Reaction scheme for (de)protonation of the HDVr at U-1:O2′ and Mg2+ binding events needed to attain catalytically active states with and without Mg2+ (kcatMg2+ and kcat, respectively). RH indicates a (neutral) protonated reactant state (O2′H), while R indicates a deprotonated reactant state (O2′). In all cases, C75 is assumed to be in a protonated state.
