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 ...

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 ...

Aiming for a high-speed, high-sensitivity, and low-cost automatic detection system The research group first created genetically modified mice that were designed to produce a protein called luciferase ...
