Abstract
The excitation and emission energies of oxyluciferin are calculated by the TDDFT method and the absorption spectra in the aqueous solutions with various pH values are assigned using the relative absorption intensity estimated from the theoretical pKa values. The results suggest that the peak at 414nm in the experimental absorption spectra at pH 8.3 corresponds to the excitation to the S1 state of (6′O−,4O−) and that the peak at 371nm in the strong acidic solution at pH 5.4 corresponds to the excitation to the S1 state of (6′OH,4OH).
