Substrate Water Exchange for the Oxygen Evolving Complex in PSII in the S1, S2, and S3 States

Abstract: Detailed mechanisms for substrate water exchange in the oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II have been determined with DFT methods for large models. Existing interpretations of the experimental water exchange results have been quite different. By many groups, these results have been the main argument against the water oxidation mechanism suggested by DFT, in which the oxygen molecule is formed between a bridging oxo and an oxyl radical ligand in the center of the OEC. That mechanism is otherwise in line w… Show more

“…In this model, the Mn cluster is in the open cube configuration (O5 bound to dangler Mn4), and radical coupling was proposed to occur between the O5 oxo and an oxyl radical that forms after deprotonation of a hydroxide on the proximal Mn1. This model is consistent with the recent S (28,41,55,56), this alternative, therefore, also fits with this conclusion that critical water rearrangements, perhaps coupled to structural rearrangements, precede the dioxygen chemistry.…”

“…The increase in distance could allow for the binding of the second substrate water molecule between the dangler Mn and the Mn 3 CaO x cubane. The presence of a substrate water molecule between the dangler Mn and the distorted cubane in the higher S-states, has also been predicted to be essential for the catalytic mechanism in a recent DFT model of the full catalytic S-state cycle, including modelling of the substrate water exchange 21,53 . In addition to the elongation, the overall dimensions of the Mn 4 CaO 5 cluster appear to condense in the double-flash data set that may represent the putative S 3 -state.…”

“…One is from an electronic structural point of view; the difficulty exists in the spin state of the catalyst, accelerating a reaction where two water molecules (reactants) of singlet spin states produce one oxygen molecule (products) of triplet spin states. The other is from a precise geometrical structural point of view; the difficulty lies in the fact that the OEC structure is known only for a dark-stable S 1 state, [11][12][13][14] although the OEC catalytic cycle consists of at least four states. 7,10,15 When it comes to the oxygen-evolution reaction by water splitting, in most of the artificial electrodes, precious metals such as platinum, ruthenium, and iridium are often indispensable, 16,17 owing to their durability.…”
