| Research Abstract |
Firefly luciferase, which is very famous enzyme for bioluminescence reaction, can also catalyze the enantioselective thioesterification reaction toward 2-arylpropanoic acid. The detail catalytic mechanisms for enantioselectivity and/or a binding site of coenzyme A, however, were not disclosed. Thus in this project, we tried to find the binding site for coenzyme A and tried to explain the mechanism of enantioselectivity toward 2-arylpropanoic acid. Finally we achieved to find some important residues for identifying of substrate chirality.
