Mystery of Renilla-type Luciferases Solved

The first LL publication in 2023 has come out in Nature Catalysis! We deciphered the molecular principle of the oxidative mechanism by which Renilla-type luciferases generate blue photons. Read more about this amazing & light-emitting enzyme in the just-published paper “Catalytic Mechanism for Renilla-type Luciferases“. 

The great news has been shared with the general public:
