Summary

The metadynamics calculations reported herein demonstrate that before reaching the periplasmic solution, chloride ions have to overcome an additional barrier arising from two different effects, namely the rearrangement of their solvation shell and a flip in the backbone angles of the residues E148 and G149, which reside at the end of the alphaF helix.
