Application

D-Luciferin may be used as a substrate in luciferase-based (EC 1.13.12.7) bioluminescence imaging and cell-based high-throughput screening applications. ATP can be measured with a reagent made up of D-luciferin and luciferase from firefly.D-Luciferin may be used and studied as a partial agonist for G protein-coupled receptor-35 (GPR35).

The inability to intraoperatively diagnose and eliminate microscopic residual tumors represents a significant challenge in cancer surgery. These residual microtumors cause lethal recurrence and metastasis. Herein, we show a crucial example of Raman imaging with gap-enhanced Raman tags (GERTs) to

The firefly luciferase gene is commonly used in cell-based reporter assays. Convenient luciferase assay reagents for use in high-throughput screening (HTS) are commercially available. However, the high cost of these reagents is not within the means of some academic laboratories.

Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) detects light generated by luciferase-mediated oxidation of substrate and is used widely for evaluating transgene expression in cell-based assays and in vivo in relevant preclinical models. The most commonly used luciferase for in vivo applications is firefly

Effective treatment of brain metastases is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the rapid development of resistance to drug therapy. Moreover, the clinical application of general formulations is hampered by biological barriers and biological elimination. To tackle this challenge

Optical steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods were used to study the photoprotolytic reaction of oxyluciferin, the active bioluminescence chromophore of the firefly's luciferase-catalyzed reaction. We found that like D-luciferin, the substrate of the firefly bioluminescence reaction, oxyluciferin is a photoacid
