Figure 6. Interaction of W377 radical with environment.

Figure 6

(a) Chlorine anion, Cl, spontaneously binding from the bulk solvent to the positively charged W377·+ residue, as seen in MD simulation. The binding of Cl is characterized by the hydrogen bond length dion which has been analysed for three redox states of the cryptochrome active site: FAD + W400 + W377 (b), [FAD· + W400·+] (c), and FAD· + W377·+] (d).
