Table 2. Calculated changes of ΔΔG and ΔpKa for the transition from GCaMP3 to GCaMP5A in a model that assumes different sets of chromophore atoms interacting with D380 residue.

Atoms included in calculation with electric potential of non-zero Experimental Value*
All CZ to CA3 CE2 to CA3 CD2 to CA3 CG2 to CA3 CB2 to CA3 CA2 to CA3
ΔΔΔG (kJ/mol) -73.0 -30.8 -42.2 -16.3 -8.5 -13.5 -4.6 --
ΔΔpKa -12.8 -5.4 -7.4 -2.9 -1.5 -2.4 -0.79 -0.5 ± 0.03

Each step of included atoms for the sequential calculations in our model (excluded atoms have electric potential equal to zero). Refer to Fig 7 for labelled illustration of the GCaMP chromophore.
