Abstract excerpt
Firefly luciferase is widely used for enzymatic measurement of ATP, and its gene is used as a reporter for gene expression experiments. From our mutant library, we selected novel mutations in Photinus pyralis luciferase with higher luminescence intensity. These included mutations at Ile423, Asp436, and Leu530. Luciferase is structurally composed of a large N-terminal active site domain (residues 1-436), a...
