Flipping of amino acid side chains as observed in MD simulations. (A) A simulation snapshot (setup III in Table 1) shows QH2 (hydrogens not shown) close to the deprotonated acidic residues Glu248 and Glu223. Protonation of acidic residues (upon QH2 oxidation) results in flipping of the side chains of protonated Glu223 (B), protonated Glu248 (C), and protonated Glu213 (D) in simulations setups VI, VII and IV, respectively (see also Table 1). The QH2 molecule position is same in all panels, and is based on setup III simulation.
