MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Promega Corporation announced today that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Aobious, Inc. to protect its intellectual property rights regarding ...

In a recent study published in ACS Central Science, researchers used a luciferase-independent luminescence test to investigate whether the wild-type severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

On one level, we have fireflies figured out. We know the enzyme they use to make light (called luciferase), as well as the chemicals they use in the light-generating reaction. We know them so well ...

Figure 2. Promega's DLRTM Assay System. As the sun goes down you see the recurring yet sporadic glow of fireflies around you. The flash of the common firefly (Photinus pyralis) is behavioral display ...

Luciferin is the basic substrate of bioluminescent assays. Based on a simple reaction where ATP fuels luciferase catalysis of firefly (beetle) luciferin to produce light, bioluminescence has broad ...

Traditional reporter gene assays are powerful tools to interrogate adaptive stress-response signaling mechanisms. Such assays provide a convenient means for measuring global cellular responses to ...

These include Robert Boyle’s observations in 1667 on the importance of oxygen for bacterial bioluminescence, as well as Louise Dubois’ research on the bioluminescent beetle Pyrophorus sp. Taken ...
