In photosystem II, light-induced water oxidation occurs at the Mn<sub>4</sub>CaO<sub>5</sub> cluster. Here we demonstrate proton releases, dioxygen formation, and substrate water incorporation in response to Mn<sub>4</sub>CaO<sub>5</sub> oxidation in the protein environment, using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach and molecular dynamics simulations. In S<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O at the W1 site forms a low-barrier H-bond with D1-Asp61. In the S<sub>2</sub>-to-S<sub>3</sub> tra ...[more]
