A Structural Model of Truncated Gaussia princeps Luciferase Elucidating the Crucial Catalytic Function of No.76 Arginine towards Coelenterazine Oxidation. by Nan Wu, Zhi-Chao Xu, Kai-Dong Du, Shen Huang, Naohiro Kobayashi, Yutaka Kuroda, Yan-Hong Bai

“…Subsequently, R76 and the adjacent Q88, positioned near R76 through the tGLuc refolding process, stabilize the transition states and facilitate the emergence of radical electrons on CTZ at the onset of the CIEEL reaction, which contributes to the subsequent intramolecular electron transfer and the production of excited amide product. This study provides a comprehensive explanation of tGLuc's catalytic mechanism. …”
