Bioluminescence: Firefly Luciferases
We are investigating a number of firefly luciferases. As a comparison for our future experiments we will begin by cloning the existing Biobrick for<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I712019:Design">wild type P. pyralis luciferase</a> into our strains of interest.
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.
