Abstract excerpt
Luciferases are widely used as reporter proteins in various fields. Recently, we developed a minimal bright luciferase, picALuc, via partial deletion of the artificial luciferase (ALuc) derived from copepods luciferases. However, the structures of copepod luciferases in the substrate-bound state remain unknown. Moreover, as suggested by structural modeling, picALuc has a larger active site cavity, unlike that in...
