Ca 2+, which provides binding sites for ligand water molecules W3 and W4 in the Mn 4 CaO 5 cluster, is a prerequisite for O 2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII). We report structural changes in the H-bond network and the catalytic cluster itself upon the replacement of Ca 2+ with other alkaline earth metals, using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach. The small radius of Mg 2+ makes W3 donate an H-bond to D1-Glu189 in Mg 2+-PSII. If an additional water molecule binds at the large surface of Ba 2+, it donates H-bonds to D1-Glu189 and the ligand water molecule at the dangling Mn, altering the H-bond network. The potential energy profiles of the H-bond between D1-Tyr161 (TyrZ) and D1-His190 and the interconversion between the open-and closed-cubane S 2 conformations remain substantially unaltered upon the replacement of Ca 2+. Remarkably, the O5⋯ Ca 2+ distance is shortest among all O5⋯ metal distances irrespective of the radius being larger than that of Mg 2+. Furthermore, Ca 2+ is the only alkaline earth metal that equalizes the O5⋯ metal and O2⋯ metal distances and facilitates the formation of the symmetric cubane structure.
