Syntheses of luciferins and their bioluminescent evaluation
Luciferins are a class of light emitting small molecule substrates. These molecules are oxidised to produce visible light in a reaction catalysed by the luciferase enzymes. The combination of this luminescent reaction coupled with CCD cameras, has produced revolutionary technologies that enable meas...
