Advances in the knowledge of light emission by firefly luciferin and oxyluciferin
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 2012Firefly luciferase is the most important and studied bioluminescence system. Due to very interesting characteristics, this system has gained numerous biomedical, pharmaceutical and bioanalytical applications, among others. In order to improve the use of this system, various researchers have tried to understand experimentally the colour of ...

Click Reaction Based on the Biosynthesis of Firefly Luciferin
Chemistry Letters, 2017Novel click chemistry was developed based on the biosynthetic process of firefly luciferin, which includes an ideal coupling of a cyanothiazole residue with cysteine. Among various biomimetic couplings of nitriles with cysteine derivatives, the approach using 4-cyanopyridine and cysteine methyl ester provided a very rapid and quantitative conversion to

Stereoisomeric bio-inversion key to biosynthesis of fireflyd-luciferin
FEBS Letters, 2006 The chirality of the luciferin substrate is critical to the luciferin–luciferase reaction producing bioluminescence. In firefly, the biosynthetic pathway of d-luciferin is still unclear, although it can be synthesized in vitro from d-cysteine.

Theoretical Study on Storage and Release of Firefly Luciferin
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2021AbstractAmong numerous bioluminescent organisms, firefly is the most studied one. Recent experiment proposed that sulfoluciferin (SLH2) may serve as a storage form of luciferin (LH2). In the present article, we employed density functional theory calculation to uncover the mechanism and detailed process of the storage and release reactions.

Novel Heterocyclic Analogues of Firefly Luciferin
Biochemistry, 2012Five novel firefly luciferin analogues in which the benzothiazole ring system of the natural substrate was replaced with benzimidazole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, benzoxazole, and indole were synthesized. The fluorescence, bioluminescence, and kinetic properties of the compounds were evaluated with recombinant Photinus pyralis wild type luciferase ...

The preparation and properties of crystalline firefly luciferin
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1957Abstract 1. 1. The purification and preparation of crystalline firefly luciferin is described. From 15,000 firefly lanterns approximately 9 mg. of crystalline luciferin can be prepared. 2. 2. The empirical formula appears to be C13H12N2S2O3. Infrared spectra and microorganic spot tests of luciferin and various derivatives indicate that two of

Chemiluminescence of Firefly Luciferin without Enzyme
Science, 1962We have been able to produce chemiluminescence in firefly luciferin without utilizing the enzyme luciferase. Following the analogous mechanism of the chemiluminescence of luminol in the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide, we have prepared synthetically the methyl ester of luciferin, the phosphate ester of luciferin and luciferyl adenylate ...

Differential Effect of Azetidine Substitution in Firefly Luciferin Analogues
ChemBioChem, 2021AbstractReplacing an N,N‐dimethylamino group in a classical fluorophore with a four membered azetidine ring provides an improved luminescence quantum yield. Herein, we extended this strategy to bioluminescent firefly luciferin analogues and evaluated its general validity.

Firefly luciferin as a multifunctional chemiluminescence molecule
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2013The chemiluminescence properties of firefly luciferin were studied, in a variety of chemical systems different from those in which it is usually studied. It was found that luciferin is a multifunctional chemiluminescence molecule, as it can behave as a chemiluminescence sensitizer, an emitter and a substrate.
