Firefly luminescence reveals pesticides Luciferin synthesis and organophosphate detection by a luminescent enzymatic cascade Date: March 11, 2022 ...

A luminescence reaction modeled on fireflies can detect contamination with organophosphates with high sensitivity, ease, and low cost. At the center of this technology is a new enzymatic method for ...

The firefly is probably the Earth's most famous bioluminescent species, with over 2,000 individual species. Here's how they make their light.

LONDON The mysterious secret of how fireflies control when they glow is starting to be unravelled. A study published in 29 June Science, has discovered that the key chemical that fireflies need to ...

Neat, thanks for sharing. Coincidentally, on my other computer screen I'm working with the DNA sequence of firefly luciferase (plus a few other luciferases!), building another one of those ...
