The surface of a protein is a condense matrix of proton binding sites having wide range of pK values. In domains where proton uptake is a part of the catalytic cycle, the surface sites endow the region with special kinetic features which represents the ensemble properties of the proton binding sites. Low pK carboxylate can merge their Coulomb cages to form an extended proton trap, where the binding...
