The deep sea remains one of the most mysterious and least explored places on Earth. Home to countless unknown species and ...

Jacob Harrell teamed up with OceanX to film the event in the Indian Ocean after being inspired by a Disney+ show ...

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a diagnostic tool called Luminescence CAscade-based Sensor (LUCAS) that ...

Bioluminescence produces light via a chemical ... along with the enzyme’s substrate furimazine, join together—and the probe lights up. The RNA tag parts of the lantern are 69 nucleotides ...

Plus: where to go in London’s Hackney, a snake-shaped bracelet and more from T’s cultural compendium. The décor of the L.F. Markey store in Hackney, London, is as colorful as the brand’s ...

acting on a bioluminescent substrate. Unlike fluorescent proteins, bioluminescent proteins do not require external light for excitation, avoiding issues like phototoxicity and background light.

3. According to NOAA, Bioluminescence is the result of an enzymatic reaction. An enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction by helping a substrate react. The enzyme is reused in the reaction instead of ...

Autonomous bioluminescence imaging has become an ideal technique for convenient and prolonged observation of cellular events without the addition of a substrate. However, the application of this ...

Let’s dive in and talk chemistry first. Bioluminescent reactions occur when a substrate called luciferin is oxidized. This is done with a special enzyme called luciferase. With this reaction ...
