Abstract
The purpose of the present scientific initiation project is the physical-chemical characterization of the reaction of fungal luciferin (3-hydroxyphispidine) with the recombinant luciferase of the fungus Neonothopanus nambi. Fungal luciferase, as a promiscuous enzyme, also accepts other substrates, leading to the emission of light. Initially, molar absorptivity values will be determined fo…
