| 1. | The luciferin-luciferase reaction responsible for the bioluminescence is pH sensitive.
|
| 2. | Like all luciferins, it is oxidised to produce light . ]]
|
| 3. | Firefly luciferase generates light from luciferin in a multistep process.
|
| 4. | Luciferin-luciferase reactions are not the only way that organisms produce light.
|
| 5. | First, D-luciferin is tautomerizes between the keto-enol form.
|
| 6. | This shows that luciferase can differentiate between the isomers of the luciferin structure.
|
| 7. | Calcium triggers release of the luciferin ( coelenterazine ) from the luciferin binding protein.
|
| 8. | Calcium triggers release of the luciferin ( coelenterazine ) from the luciferin binding protein.
|
| 9. | Luciferin reacts with oxygen to create light:
|
| 10. | Hirata tasked him with purifying crystallizing Cypridina luciferin for the purpose of determining its structure.
