Flying males flash at intervals of about seven seconds, while nonflying females flash back with a latency of two seconds. Luciferase from the common firefly has been employed as a biological reporter ...

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 ...
