The following section provides information about specific bioluminescent reporter assays with information to help you choose the reporter gene and assay that suit your research needs. Tables1,2and3summarize available luciferase genes, assays and reagents. ...
The healthier the plant, and the more sunlight it gets, the brighter the glow – up to somewhere around the level of moonlight. Unlike other bioluminescent plants and animals, these don't requite any special food or treatment. And because their glow is proportional to metabolic processes, you...
The luminescent marine plankton such as dinoflagellate, radiolarians, jellyfish, comb jellies, annelids, copepods, ostracods, mysids, amphipods, euphausiids, and tunicates form an important component in the marine food chain. Research on luminescent marine plankton is gaining momentum owing to its...
The crystal structure of luciferase was only elucidated in 2005 by Schultz and colleagues [48]. 2.2. Overview of Biochemical Research Bioluminescence in dinoflagellates is a typical luciferin–luciferase reaction in which light emission occurs in flashes of a few seconds (approximately 0.1 s) inside ...
