Birds-of-paradise are even colorful in the dark, with feathers and body parts that glow a brilliant yellow-green under ...

Bioluminescence (the light produced by fireflies, for instance) requires a chemical reaction involving the molecules luciferin and luciferase. Biofluorescent creatures generate their glow with ...

JEN PRESCHER: That’s absolutely right. We took a well-known light-emitting system in nature, these bioluminescent probes, which comes from a luciferase reaction with the luciferin small molecule. And ...

The fireflies' distinctive light is produced through a biochemical reaction involving a molecule called luciferin and an enzyme called luciferase. When these interact in the presence of oxygen ...

Washed cells were digested with 40 µL of 0.25% trypsin at 37°C for 5 min. d-Luciferin substrate was diluted with RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS at a concentration of 150 µg/mL. The digested cells were ...
