Five colour variants of bright luminescent protein for real-time multicolour bioimaging
Nature Communications, 2016 The use of luminescence, rather than fluorescence, for imaging is advantageous in situations where laser illumination should be avoided. Here the authors make five colour variants of bright luminescent proteins based on FRET between NLuc and fluorescent ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Ubiquitination is mediated by the sequential action of at least three enzymes: the E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme) and E3 (ubiquitin ligase) proteins. Polyubiquitination of target proteins is also implicated

Control of actin polymerization via reactive oxygen species generation using light or radiation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Actin is one of the most prevalent proteins in cells, and its amino acid sequence is remarkably conserved from protozoa to humans. The polymerization-depolymerization cycle of actin immediately below the plasma membrane regulates cell function, motility,

Luminescent Metal Nanoclusters for Potential Chemosensor Applications
Chemosensors, 2017 Studies of metal nanocluster (M-NCs)-based sensors for specific analyte detection have achieved significant progress in recent decades. Ultra-small-size (<2 nm) M-NCs consist of several to a few hundred metal atoms and exhibit extraordinary physical ...

Interglobular Diffusion of an Energy Donor in Triplet-Triplet Energy Transfer in Proteins
Journal of Spectroscopy, 2013 The triplet-triplet energy transfer between polar molecules of luminescent probe (eosin) as an energy donor and nonpolar molecules of energy acceptor (anthracene) is studied. Both the donor and the acceptor are bound to human serum albumin by noncovalent

Preliminary Investigation on the Physiology and Ecology of Luminescence in the Copepod, Metridia lucens [PDF]
, 1961 1. Skin glands believed to be the source of luminescence were found on the anterior portion of the head, on the last thoracic segment, and on the posterior margins of each segment of the abdomen. 2. The maximum intensity of the luminescent flash was 1.2
