Bioluminescence: Firefly Luciferases
Artist's impression of what we would like
to achieve
Our project will focus on characterising both this existing luciferase and those we hope to submit to the registry:
- An enhanced P. pyralis luciferase with increased brightness
- A number of differently coloured versions of L. cruciata luciferase
We intend to synthesise these luciferases on operons also containing the LRE for the firefly species in question, and then to quantify a PoPS to photons function.
