Abstract
Quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulations of ubiquitin in a fully solvated environment are performed to study both the dynamics of charge transfer and polarization effects. The simulations predict realistic boundaries for protein-to-water charge transfer and reveal synchronous charging and recharging of salt bridges as well as the ability of nonpolar residues to hold large excess charge.
