Abstract
The present scientific initiation project aims to study the chemical mechanism 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. It is intended to perform kinetic studies with each of the thirteen luciferin …
