Much to write about. Things move and this will probably end up super detailed for no reason.
Biochemical Mechanism
very much chemical.
Structural highlights
The wild-type and cross-linked luciferase models bound to DLSA which I don't know what that is as of right now but will find out in time.
Relevance
