ABSTRACT
The optimized geometries of the CaMn4 OX (X = 5, 6) cluster in the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) by large-scale quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations are compared with recent serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) results for the Si (i = 0-3) states. The valence states of four Mn ions by the QM/MM calculations are also examined in relation to the experimental results by the X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) for the Si intermediates. Geometrical and valence structures of right-opened Mn-hydroxide, Mn-oxo and Mn-peroxide intermediates in the S3 state are investigated in detail in relation to recent SFX and XES experiments for the S3 state. Interplay between theory and experiment indicates that the Mn-oxo intermediate is a new possible candidate for the S3 state. Implications of the computational results are discussed in relation to possible mechanisms of the oxygenoxygen bond formation for water oxidation in OEC of PSII.
