Light Output
Increasing Light Emission
- Paper on isolation of G-LRE and H-LRE, which lists previous attempts to improve light production
- Intensified light emission in presence of low ATP concentration by PPDK
- Enhanced luciferase activity through cytodine nucleotides
- Gene chimerisation to improve practical usefulness of firefly luciferase
- Genetically modified firefly luciferase - the EPIC luciferase
Relevant Physics
- The Candela measures how much light is being emitted by a source of radiation. It is related to Radient intensity (which is measured in watts per steradian) but has been weighted by a Luminosity function. This alters the power output so that it is proportional to the sensitivity of the human eye.
