Photosystem II is a large, membrane-embedded, protein complex that uses cofactor molecules and energy of absorbed light to split water molecules into electrons, molecular oxygen and protons. The protons, generated at the reaction site, are then transported to the lumen, covering distances larger than 20 Å across the protein interior. The identity of titrable amino acid groups that could participate in proton transfer, and the dynamics of water- mediated hydrogen-bonded networks that could serve as possible proton transfer pathways, are fundamental open questions. As a first step to address these questions, we performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of wild type and mutant photosystem II embedded in a hydrated lipid bilayer. To th...
