Broken-symmetry density functional calculations have been performed on the [Fe<sub>a3</sub><sup>4+</sup>,Cu<sub>B</sub><sup>2+</sup>] state of the dinuclear center (DNC) for the P<sub>R</sub> → F part of the catalytic cycle of ba<sub>3</sub> cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) from Thermus thermophilus (Tt), using the OLYP-D3-BJ functional. The calculations show that the movement of the H<sub>2</sub>O molecules in the DNC affects the pK<sub>a</sub> values of the residue side chains of Tyr237 and His376<s ...[more]
