He extracted two components from beetle abdomens, naming the substrate luciferine and the enzyme responsible for the reaction luciferase. 2 Not all bioluminescent marine organism systems can be used ...

Inspired by these elegant natural mechanisms, the research team developed a reporter molecule based on firefly luciferase (FLuc) that operates in a similar manner. Luciferase is a bioluminescence ...

Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

A new study has unveiled the genetic mechanism controlling citric acid content in jujube fruit, identifying a natural ...

The study employed a comprehensive approach, utilizing CRC cell lines, reagents, and various assays to explore the molecular mechanisms of CRC radioresistance. Through luciferase reporter assays ...
