Creation of Artificial Luciferase 60s from Sequential Insights and Their Applications to Bioassays
In this study, a series of new artificial luciferases (ALucs) was created using sequential insights on missing peptide blocks, which were revealed using the alignment of existing ALuc sequences.

Mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. [PDF]
A mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system, governed by the operon luxCDABE in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, was constructed using a set of coupled ordinary differential equations.

Reversible low-light induced photoswitching of crowned spiropyran-DO3A complexed with gadolinium(III) ions. [PDF]
Photoswitchable spiropyran has been conjugated to the crowned ring system DO3A, which improves its solubility in dipolar and polar media and stabilizes the merocyanine isomer. Adding the lanthanide ion gadolinium(III) to the macrocyclic ring system leads

Measuring fast gene dynamics in single cells with time-lapse luminescence microscopy. [PDF]
Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy is an important tool for measuring in vivo gene dynamics in single cells. However, fluorescent proteins are limited by slow chromophore maturation times and the cellular autofluorescence or phototoxicity that arises ...

Red-Shifted Firefly Luciferase Optimized for Candida albicans In vivo Bioluminescence Imaging. [PDF]
Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen causing life-threatening diseases in immuno-compromised patients. The efficacy of current drugs to combat C. albicans infections is limited, as these infections have a 40-60% mortality rate.

Triple Bioluminescence Imaging for In Vivo Monitoring of Cellular Processes [PDF]
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) has shown to be crucial for monitoring in vivo biological processes. So far, only dual bioluminescence imaging using firefly (Fluc) and Renilla or Gaussia (Gluc) luciferase has been achieved due to the lack of availability ...
