Bioluminescence inhibition of bacterial luciferase by aliphatic alcohol, amine and carboxylic acid: inhibition potency and mechanism.
The inhibitory effects of hydrophobic molecules on the bacterial luciferase, BL, luminescence reaction were analyzed using an electrochemically-controlled BL luminescence system. The inhibition potency of alkyl amines, C(n)NH(2), and fatty acids, C(m)COOH (m = n - 1), on the BL reaction increased with an increase in the alkyl chain-length of these aliphatic compounds. C(m)COOH showed lower in...

متن کاملMechanism of Bacterial Bioluminescence: 4a,S-Dihydroflavin Analogs as Models for Luciferase Hydroperoxide Intermediates and the Effect of Substituents at the 8-Position of Flavin on Luciferase Kinetics?
Bioluminescence catalyzed by bacterial luciferases was measured using FMN, iso-FMN (6methyl-8-nor-FMN), and FMN analogs carrying the following substituents a t position 8: -H, -C1, -F, S M e , S O M e , S 0 2 M e , or -0Me. The first-order rate constants for the decay of light emission correlate with the one-electron oxidation potentials of the 4a,5-dihydro forms of the FMN analogs. To determin...
متن کاملStudies on the Oxidation of Luciferin without Luciferase and the Mechanism of Bioluminescence
In five groups of luminous animals it can be shown that luminescence is connected with the oxidation of a substance, luciferin, in aqueous solution, in presence of an enzyme, luciferase, and dissolved oxygen. In the mollusc, Pholas dactylus, Dubois (1) has been able to oxidize Pholas luciferin with luminescence by KMn04, HzO, BaOz, PbOa, and hypochlorites. I have been unable to oxidize with lum...
متن کاملStudies on the Mechanism of Bacterial Bioluminescence. Evidence Compatible with a One Electron Transfer Process and a Cieel Mechanism in the Luciferase Reaction
In the key step of bacterial bioluminescence a long chain aldehyde is oxidized to the corresponding fatty acid, with the concomitant generation of an excited state. This oxidation is carried out by a flavin-C(4a)-hydroperoxide, possibly over a flavin-C(4a)-peroxyhemiacetal [1,2]. The mechanism of the key step, the generation of the excited emitter, is still unclear. None of the several previous...
