The simulations were performed with the CHARMM27 force field for the ions and amino acids. See Materials and Methods for details on the charges of titrable amino acids of the proteins and the buffer histidine. NH2O and NHIS represent the number of water and histidine molecules, and NATOM indicates the total number of atoms for each system. For the Fab and Fc systems with buffer, the initial position of buffer molecules were different for each of the three independent simulations leading to a range of system sizes (169464-169485 for Fab and 169415-169439 for Fc). For the COE3 systems, the range of system sizes originates from the initial buffer positions and the different antibody starting conformations employed for each independent run. Time indicates the simulation time for production and calculation of time averages.
