Absorption Spectrum of the Firefly Luciferin Anion Isolated in Vacuo

open access: yes, 2016
The excited-state physics of the firefly luciferin anion depends on its chemical environment, and it is therefore important to establish the intrinsic behavior of the bare ion.

Chimeric fungal-firefly luciferins exhibit red shifted fungal bioluminescence [PDF]

open access: yes
A rational design of new luciferins based upon the combination of luciferins from different lineages is exemplified by the synthesis of chimeric luciferins from a combination of fungal and firefly luciferin.

Robust Light Emission from Cyclic Alkylaminoluciferin Substrates for Firefly Luciferase

open access: yes, 2016
Firefly luciferase utilizes the chemical energy of ATP and oxygen to convert its substrate, d-luciferin, into an excited-state oxyluciferin molecule.

Kinetics of inhibition of firefly luciferase by dehydroluciferyl-coenzyme A, dehydroluciferin and l-luciferin

open access: yes, 2011
The inhibition mechanisms of the firefly luciferase (Luc) by three of the most important inhibitors of the reactions catalysed by Luc, dehydroluciferyl-coenzyme A (L-CoA), dehydroluciferin (L) and L-luciferin (L-LH(2)) were investigated. Light production

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Near-Infrared Luciferin

open access: yes, 2017
Bioluminescence imaging is used to monitor biological processes and human diseases in animal models. Firefly luciferase and its substrate D-luciferin are commonly used in preclinical cancer research to study these processes in vivo and in vitro.

Chemical biology study of firefly bioluminescence

open access: yes, 2014
電気通信大学博士(理学)2013Firefly bioluminescence is an enzymatic reaction, which requires Mg2+, ATP, and O2. The mechanism of this bioluminescence is as follows; first, the luciferase catalyzes the adenylylation of the luciferin and then the oxygenation of the ...

D-Luciferin, derivatives and analogues : synthesis and in vitro/in vivo luciferase-catalyzed bioluminescent activity

open access: yes, 2009
D-luciferin is the natural substrate of all luciferases that catalyze the production of light in bioluminescent insects. The present review covers the synthesis of D-luciferin and derivatives or analogues that are substrates or inhibitors of the ...
