Comparison of Acyl-CoA Synthetic Activities and Enantioselectivity toward 2-Arylpropanoic Acids in Firefly Luciferases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Measurement of thioesterification activities for dodecanoic acid (C12) and ketoprofen was done using five firefly luciferases, from Pyrocoelia miyako (PmL), Photinus pyralis (PpL), Luciola cruciata (LcL), Hotaria parvura (HpL), and Luciola mingrelica (LmL). Among these, PmL, PpL, and LcL showed the expected thioesterification activities toward both substrates. All the enzymes exhibited (R)-enantioselectivity toward ketoprofen, which had same tendency as firefly luciferase from Luciola lateralis (LUC-H). HpL and LmL, however, did not accept ketoprofen, although they had thioesterification activity toward C12. These results indicate that the substrate acceptance of luciferases for the thioesterification reaction varies dramatically relying on the origin of firefly. Hence we focused primarily on PmL and investigated the effect of pH on enzymatic activity. In addition, by determining the kinetic parameters at various pH values, we verified that the k(cat) parameter contributed to the preferential enantioselectivity of this enzyme.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
