A recent EPR study (M. Perrez Navarro et al.,Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.2013,110, 15561) provided evidence that ammonia binding to the oxygen‐evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II in its S2state takes place at a terminal‐water binding position (W1) on the “dangler” manganese center MnA. This contradicted earlier interpretations of14N electron‐spin‐echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and extended X‐ray absorption fine‐structure (EXAFS) data, which were taken to indicate replacement of a bridging oxo ligand by an NH2unit. Here we have used systematic broken‐symmetry density functional theory calculations on large (ca. 200 atom) model clusters of an extensive variety of substitution patterns and core geometries to examine these contradictory pieces of evidence. Computed relative energies clearly favor the terminal substitution pattern over bridging‐ligand arrangements (by about 20–30 kcal mol−1) and support W1 as the preferred binding site. Computed14N EPR nuclear‐quadrupole coupling tensors confirm previous assumptions that the appreciable asymmetry may be accounted for by strong, asymmetric hydrogen bonding to the bound terminal NH3ligand (mainly by Asp61). Indeed, bridging NH2substitution would lead to exaggerated asymmetries. Although our computed structures confirm that the reported elongation of an Mn–Mn distance by about 0.15 Å inferred from EXAFS experiments may only be reproduced by bridging NH2substitution, it seems possible that the underlying EXAFS data were skewed by problems due to radiation damage. Overall, the present data clearly support the suggested terminal NH3coordination at the W1 site. The finding is significant for the proposed mechanistic scenarios of OEC catalysis, as this is not a water substrate site, and effects of this ammonia binding on catalysis thus must be due to more indirect influences on the likely substrate binding site at the O5 bridging‐oxygen position.
