Vibrio harveyi luciferase is an αβ heterodimer containing a single active site, proposed
earlier to be at a cleft in the α subunit. In this work, six conserved phenylalanine residues at …

Alkyl-substituted Sepharose 4B prepared by the glycidyl ether method with different degrees
of substitution and alkyl chain length, have been used as a non-ionic matrix for …

The recently proposed model for the bacteria luciferase− flavin mononucleotide complex
identifies a number of critical intermolecular interactions that define a binding platform for the …

Structural properties of a bacterial luciferase mutant, evolved by random mutagenesis, have
been investigated. Bacterial luciferases (LuxAB) can be readily classed as slow or fast …

Detailed kinetic studies were performed in order to determine the role of the single cysteine
residue in the desulfonation reaction catalyzed by SsuD. Mutation of the conserved cysteine …

The role of a highly reactive cysteine residue, Cys106, in Vibrio harveyi luciferase in
modulating the substrate− enzyme interactions and in turn affecting the enzyme activity has …

Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the monooxygenation of long-chain aldehydes such as
tetradecanal to the corresponding acid accompanied by light emission with a maximum at …

Sažetak Bioluminescence is a phenomenon exhibited by various organisms like marine
bacteria, glow worms, fireflies, anglerfish, jelly fish, etc. These organisms can produce and …

Bacterial luciferase is a heterodimeric enzyme, which catalyzes the light emission reaction,
utilizing reduced FMN (FMNH2), a long chain aliphatic aldehyde and $ O_2 $, to produce …

Bacterial luminescence is the end-product of biochemical reactions catalyzed by the
luciferase enzyme. Nowadays, this fascinating phenomenon has been widely used as …
