Bioluminescence
The Plan
- Characterise the transfer function of PoPs + CHBT --> Light
- The Luciferin Cycle:
Increasing Light Emission
Previous attempts to improve light production of luciferase reaction Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) converts AMP + PPi to ATP (AMP + PPi + Phosphoenol Pyruvate -> ATP + Pyruvate + Phosphate) => light emission intensified in presence of low ATP concentration
- Enhanced luciferase activity through cytodine nucleotides
- Genetically modified firefly luciferase - the EPIC luciferase
