Water molecules are shown as blue spheres, the four manganese atoms in purple, the calcium in green and
the bridging oxygen atoms in red.

POMs are molecular transition metal -
oxygen clusters in which the metal
atoms are
bridged by
oxygen atoms to form a three - dimensional network.
The chemical feature that enables this suppression is a bond between two
oxygen atoms — an unstable peroxide
bridge that releases a tiny barrage in the form of free radicals (unpaired electrons) that can fracture parasite proteins the way an F5 twister tears apart barns.
They were especially interested in the protein's small metal catalyst, an
oxygen - evolving complex in which
oxygen atoms bridge four manganese
atoms with one calcium
atom.
