It was recently suggested that cytochrome c operates in an ergodicity-breaking regime characterized by unusually large energy gap thermal fluctuations and associated reorganization free energies for heme oxidation of up to 3.0 eV. The large fluctuations were reported to lower activation free energy for oxidation of the heme cofactor by almost a factor of 2 compared to the case where ergodicity is maintained. Our group has recently investigated this claim computationally at several levels of theory and found no evidence for such large energy gap fluctuations. Here we address the points of our earlier work that have raised criticism and we also extend our previous investigation by considering a simple linear polarizability model for cytochrome c oxidation. We find very consistent results among all our computational approaches, ranging from classical molecular dynamics, to the linear polarizability model to QM(PMM)/MM to full QM(DFT)/MM electrostatic emdedding. None of them support the notion of very large energy gap fluctuations or ergodicity breaking. The deviation between our simulations and the ones reported in [J. Phys. Chem. B 2017, 121, 4958] is traced back to rather large electric fields at the Fe site of the heme c cofactor in that study, not seen in our simulations, neither with the AMBER nor with the CHARMM force field. While ergodicity breaking effects may well occur in other biological ET, our numerical evidence suggests that this is not the case for cytochrome c.
